Here is a very appropriate listing for the January 1987 issue. R Bellerby of Hessle. North Humberside, has written a brilliant calendar generator. It will print a calendar for any year between 1800 and 2500 to either screen or printer. The clever thing about the program is that it takes into account not only leapyears. but also that century years should nor be leapyears unless they are divisible by 400. Thus 1800 and 1900 were not leapyears although 2000 will be. You might think the program could be easily amended to print years before the 1800s. Not so sample. A bit of history: Our present 12-month calendar dates back to Julius Caesar. It originally did not have the century-year rule, and by the 1500s was 10 days out of sync with the seasons. In 1382 Pope Gregory decreed 15 October was to come immediately after 4 October; much of the world obeyed. But non-Catholic countries weren't in the mood fox papal bull. England, for example, waited until 1782 and dropped 12 days; Russia resisted until almost 1920. So if you want to extend the program before 1800 you'll have to take political complications into account - you might be able to sell your work to harrassed historians.

Page créée en 599 millisecondes et consultée 1150 foisL'Amstrad CPC est une machine 8 bits à base d'un Z80 à 4MHz. Le premier de la gamme fut le CPC 464 en 1984, équipé d'un lecteur de cassettes intégré il se plaçait en concurrent du Commodore C64 beaucoup plus compliqué à utiliser et plus cher. Ce fut un réel succès et sorti cette même années le CPC 664 équipé d'un lecteur de disquettes trois pouces intégré. Sa vie fut de courte durée puisqu'en 1985 il fut remplacé par le CPC 6128 qui était plus compact, plus soigné et surtout qui avait 128Ko de RAM au lieu de 64Ko. |
