  Hmmm... It looks good in my email client (Outlook 2000).  I tried to
format it so all the characters would line up...  Oh, well....

  It's attached as a .txt file.

    Your note sounds interesting, but the copy of the event was in some
ancient language that Jesus must have spoken! HA! Can't read it.

      Thought I'd share with everyone something I just whipped up. This
event, when called, will turn a variable NUMBER-A into TEXT-A, calculating
weeks, days, hours, and minutes. It is meant to be called from another
event. For example, I set a MINUTE-COUNTER called Away Timer when I leave
the house that runs until I get back. Then, when I get back, it translates
it into weeks, days, etc. The resulting TEXT-A item looks something like
this:

      2 weeks, 1 day, 13 hours, and 2 minutes.
      20 hours, and 1 minute.

      Note that ECS's limit for a number is 32,765 [NOT 32,767 as mentioned
in ECS.HTM], which is
      3 weeks, 1 day, 18 hours, and 5 minutes.

      Hopefully, it will be of some use to someone.
