YEST 2.7 RELEASE - README

Features:
	This is called "yest" because  the default is to output yesterday´s
	date.  This utility knows about leap year, daylight savings time, and
	such variations.

	This utility adds or subtracts days, hours, and/or minutes from a given
	date, and outputs the result in the specified format.

	The default, if no adjustment is specified, is "-1d" (subtract one day).

	Yest supports most date(1) format codes as well as a few of its own.
	Particularly interesting is the "%L" (last day of the month) token.
	Finding the last day of the month has always been a problem in Unices.

Installation:
	(Use the correct version number for the version you are installing)

	o If you downloaded the tar file:
		tar xvzf yest-2.7.0.3.tgz

	o To compile:
		gcc -o /usr/local/bin/yest yest-2.7.0.3.c
	  or
		cc -o /usr/local/bin/yest yest-2.7.0.3.c
	  Under Sun OS:
		gcc -DSUNOS -o /usr/local/bin/yest yest-2.7.0.3.c

	o Move the man page to an appropriate location, such as:
		mv yest-2.7.0.3.man1 /usr/local/man/man1/yest.1 

Changes:

	o Now uses the YEST_REGION_US define to simplify compilation in non-US
	  regions.

		If YEST_REGION_US is defined, the program will default to "US"
		if the LANG environmental variable is undefined.

		Remove the "#define YEST_REGION_US" line to reverse the default
		action.

	o The program now compiles cleanly with the following compile command:
		gcc -Wall -Wpointer-arith -Wstrict-prototypes --pedantic \
			-o yest yest.c 

	o Fixed bug when the LANG variable is not set.

	o Now supports the date "%^x" construction for uppercasing strings.

	o Now compiles cleanly under Sun OS 5.8 Generic.
