November 28, 2001Toad Hollow Software Co. is pleased to announce the dawn of               H O L I D A Y S  2 0 0 2Holidays2002 is a NewtonOS 2.0 freeware utility that adds over one hundredU.S. civil, Christian, Islamic, UK Banking, and just plain fun holidays tothe Newton datebook.  These holidays are entered in the datebook just as ifyou added them in the usual way, so after adding them, this package cansafely be removed from your Newton.This freeware package is available on Toad Hollow's web page located at:     http://www.pobox.com/~toadhollow/This package will also be available shortly at your favorite Newtonshareware/freeware site.Please note that all Islamic dates are approximate since they are based on predicted lunar observations.  As is the custom on civil calendars, all Jewish holidays are shown on the appropriate day even though theybegin at sundown on the previous day.  This year only, the UK SpringBank Holiday has been moved due to the Queen's Golden Jubilee.If users decide that they don't need all these holidays, they cansimply search for the string "2002" in Dates and delete the holidaysthey do not need since every holiday has "2002" in it name.  It may takea minute or two on older Newtons to add all the holidays, so a smallprogress bar is displayed.  If you use a European locale setting supplied by a someone other thanApple, you may experience problems using this package; the fix is to temporarily set your locale back to any Apple supplied locale originalto your Newton and run the program.  You can then change back to yourthird-party locale without further problems.  Third-party locales oftendo not include the full range of locale information that is required bythis package in order to parse and use the local date format.Toad Hollow's other Newton applications are also available on our web page.Brian K.
