Date calculator
Puppymaniac wrote me an email as feedback for Haemoncrules:
| Please add a date calculator to the program – It would be very useful for counting number of days since last cycle of chemo and especially days since transplant. Thank you. |
Thanks for the suggestion P.
I do use a date calculator myself and one of the gems is Dates (last version 2.1, freeware by one Marty Wilber and I am afraid nowhere to be found on the WWW anymore – email me if you are desperate 
) This wonderful program allows you to calculate the number of days or weeks from a particular date, and can work out the future date for a set number of dates or weeks. This is great for what you want – counting the number of days from the last cycle of chemo or days post-transplant. I also use it to work out a future appointment date “x” number of weeks from a particular date. There is even a Datebook button which will jump to the Datebook application (built-in or the one mapped to your Datebook button). It works in OS 5.x still as far as I can tell.
There is one more Date calculator, a freebie called DateToolz written by yours truly. Its more amateurish compared to Dates but it gets the job done, even if I say so myself
I haven’t bothered incorporating a date calculator in Haemoncrules as this app does everything already and I find it easy to switch from HOR to Dates (I highly recommend McPhling as a very fast application switcher; or you can also try the freebie Switch5)
