Usage

Installation

Grab the .exe file from the attachment and put it wherever you want. Send me a personal message for non-Windows builds and/or if you need the source code.

Using the Application
You'll need a terminal window. (On Windows, the Windows Terminal is pretty nice.) Then just run any calculation of your choice:

[Select]

% ./dateadder "today in a week"
% ./dateadder "2021/12/31 plus four days"

Et cetera, et cetera.

Uninstallation
Delete the .exe file.

As a long-time member of DonationCoder has declared that publishing the source code of an application effectively ends my copyright on that application, I removed all references to the source code from this NANY entry. Future contributions will be closed source as well. I am not interested in having my copyright violated just because I published my software in good faith.

Wow... that's an escalation, and of course your option. It was a conversation in good faith, and you take it to this extreme to try to prove a point? Quite mature conversational skills indeed.

[Tuxman]

Denying someone's right to define what other people are allowed to do with his software by explicitly stating a license and claiming that a developer does not own an application anymore when he decides to publish the source code - which literally contains the word "copyright" - is not a "conversation in good faith". Note that you are not the culprit here.

I will not discuss this in more than one thread. No more source code for you, folks. If you don't want to respect the license, you won't get a chance to disrespect it anymore.

Has anyone disrespected your license? Or even said you don't have a license? He just said the TOS on the service said he gives up certain aspects of the hosting of said software. But you do you.

Hi Tuxman,

That is not what I said, nor is it what I meant, and I think you are intelligent enough to understand the difference between what I actually said and what you are claiming I said. It saddens me to see you mischaracterize me in such a way.

Be well.
