Welcome to DropDate. This simple utility presents a one-month calendar in a
global floating window that can appear above the windows of any application.
You can change the year by pressing the UP and DOWN arrows and select the
month from a popup menu. It can, therefore, serve as a simple calendar on
your desktop.
However, DropDate does more than just show a calendar. You can drag-and-drop
the long form (with weekday, of course) of any date into any application
that accepts text drops by starting the drag from the desired calendar cell.
Why DropDate?
One of the minor annoyances of life is receiving a message announcing some
event on some date, such as "We will have a picnic on June 7, 2001." This
immediately sends the receiver looking for a calendar to find out what day
of the week June 7 falls on.
Wouldn¹t it be nicer if all senders took the trouble to put the weekday in
their messages? For instance, "We will have a picnic on Thursday, June 7,
2001." A few do this, but sometimes end up making mistakes that result in
further, "Oops!" messages.
I wrote DropDate to help me be a good citizen-communicator. Entering the
date with correct weekday is as simple as dragging the desired date and
dropping it in the target window.
