NightCal for Windows

• Interesting Program that Needs Work

  M4RiEJanuary 28, 2010

  Pros

  The pleasing moon-phase graphics and details are user-friendly.

  Cons

  The .exe file had to be manually located. No Help file or Legend. Doesn't seem to recognize e.g. Eastern Standard Time (GMT-5), even after entering its location's latitude and longitude. Calendar doesn't fit its window and is unable to be resized.

  Summary

  Basic calendar functions such as notes, alarm setting or event planning would be popular. Found and moved the executable file from My Documents to its folder, then sent a shortcut to the desktop. Another shortcut can be copied (moved) from there to your preferred location, such as the quick start menu, then you have the option of deleting the desktop shortcut. I'll hang onto this program to see if any updates become available, but until I work with the settings to find the ones that accurately reflect my location, this won't be used.

• No executable file after installation

  MonrabanaDecember 6, 2008

  Pros

  It has the potential to provide useful information

  Cons

  It has to be reinstalled everytime I want to run it

  Summary

  I installed the program using Windows XP SP2 and checked the run now box and it worked. A few days later I tried to run it again but there was no executable file.. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling but no go...<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Dec 6, 2008<p/>The missing files were found in "My Documents" folder. Transferring them to the default folder solved the problem. Editing the shortcut should also work.

• The programm is ok but the installation doesn't work

  gruenrockNovember 16, 2008

  Pros

  I don't like

  Cons

  The self-installation doesn't work. There is no running file "nightcal.exe" in the program-folder after running the NCalsetup072c.exe! Result: no installation under WindowsXP

• It's pretty good

  beckyaroySeptember 3, 2008

  Pros

  It shows the phases of the moon, as well as when it rises and sets.

  Cons

  You can't just display the phases of the moon, and it takes up the entire space for the day making it impractical for use as a regular calendar

  Summary

  It's ok, but I'm definitely looking for something a little better.
