Do   you   want   time   and   status? 
  Put the Metric date in your status window!

 It has now been made very easy for you to put the
 Metric date in the status window of any site you have designed or are
 going to design. It is not only free and easy, it is also a matter of
 principle, for the Quaternary Metric Calendar is the sole calendar that is:
 
  
    | 
   | 
  
   
    -  a global calendar worldwide
 
    -  ethnically and otherwise inclusive
 
    -  as metric and modern as the meter
 
    -  as natural and ancient as nature
 
    -  and transparently perpetual

 As a designer of HTML pages you will have to follow three steps:
  
  -  Get the JavaScript file StatWind.js from TRINPsite at the following
       address:
       
         http://www.trinp.org/JS/StatWind.js
        
       Put the file in the same directory as the file of the page you want
       to add the Metric date to. (Of course, you can also create a special
       JavaScript directory as has been done in TRINPsite, but then you
       should make sure that you adjust the reference to that file below in
       src="StatWind.js".) 
  -  Add the following statement to the HEAD of your source code, that is,
       between <head> and </head>:
       
        <script src="StatWind.js" type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"></script>
         
  -  Add the following item to your BODY statement, that is, between
       <body and the end bracket >:
       
        onload="StatWind(true)"
         
  
 After saving your revised file and reloading your page, the Metric 
 year-week-day code will appear in your status window at the bottom of
 your screen, preceded by the words Today's date is. For example:
 Today's date is 56.01.2.
 You can also put the Metric date at any place in your standard or 'design'
 window by using the JavaScript function StatWind(truth-value). If
 truth-value=true the date appears in the status window, but if
 truth-value=false it appears in the active 'normal' window. If you want to
 add some text before and after the date, this part of your source code may
 look as follows:
  
  <script type="text/javascript" language="JavaScript"> 
     <!-- 
        document.write("Today's date is "); 
        StatWind(false); 
        document.write(".") 
     // --> 
  </script>
  
 Again, be sure not to forget the JavaScript item in the head, and, of
 course, the StatWind.js file in the same directory (or in a different one,
 as specified).
 Good luck, and let it transpire!
