Notes:

You must install the Java JRE to use this program.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/jgloss/jre.html

This hybrid program is mainly designed to be used as an Applet in a
browser but is can also be used from the command prompt, e.g. under
Windows command.exe or JPSoft tcc.exe, formerly called the DOS box. Just
clicking the programs in a directory listing will not do anything useful.
Just typing the program names at the command prompt will not either.

This program requires a manual install! See below.

I put out an avalanche of free software into the world, and submit PAD
files to hundreds of distribution sites, but I rarely hear back from
anyone. What's happening? Does it all just work fine? It is so
complicated nobody can figure out how to use it and they give up on it?
It is it useful? Since everyone has the source, do people just fix the
programs to their liking themselves? Did you have trouble installing? Do
I presume you know too much? I would be happy to hear from you about your
experiences, positive or negative and your requests for improvements. A
one-line email to roedy@mindprod.com would be great.

===> Free <===
Full source included.
You may even include the source code, modified or unmodified
in free/commercial open source/proprietary programs that you write and distribute.
May be used freely for any purpose but military.
For more details on this restriction, see
http://mindprod.com/contact/nonmil.html
If you include any Canadian Mind Products code in your own applications,
your app too must be labelled non-military use only.

All Java jars and source code are included. If you need the class files or Javadoc, you will have to build them yourself. To streamline the zip downloads, class files and Javadoc have been removed.

Prerequisites:

This program runs under any OS that supports Java,
(e.g.W2K/XP/W2003/Vista/W2008/W7-32/W7-64/W8-32/W8-64/Linux/LinuxARM/LinuxX86
/LinuxX64/Ubuntu/Solaris/SolarisSPARC/SolarisSPARC64/SolarisX86/SolarisX64/OSX/AIX...)
so long as you have
<><> Java version 1.8 <><> or later installed (32-bit or 64-bit Java).
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html for details.

----

Installing on a PC:

Download source and compiled jar files to run on your own machine as an application or Applet
First install a recent Java JDK or JVM.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html.
To install, extract the zip download with WinZip
(or similar unzip utility) into any directory you please,
often J:\ -- ticking off the <span class="click">use folder names</span> option.
To run as an application, type:
java.exe %JAVA_OPTIONS -ea -jar J:\com\mindprod\bio\bio.jar {put any parms here}

adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.

----

Installing on a MacIntosh:

Use Safari to download source and compiled jar files to run on your own machine as an application or Applet.
Safari will automatically unpack the zip into ~/Downloads (version 10.5)
[or on the Desktop (version 10.4 and earlier)].
First install a recent Java JDK or JVM.
See http://mindprod.com/jgloss/installingjava.html.
You may optionally move the download tree to a permanent home.
I don't have a MacIntosh, just a PC, so I can't test my Java programs for Mac compatibility.
In theory they should work without problems, but in practice that does not always happen.
If you have problems please, let me know, preferably with screenshots and complete verbatim error messages.
To run as an application, without parameters, just double click the jar file.

To run as an application with parameters, in bash shell type:
open Terminal.app
cd ~/Desktop
java.exe -ea -jar com/mindprod/bio/bio.jar {put any parms here}

adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.

----

Rebuilding:

The zip already contains the necessary jar files, so unless you modify
the program, there is no need to recompile the source or rebuild the jar.
Configure.java basedir="E:/" in rebuild.xml to the drive where your files are.
Configure.java your certificate name with environment SET cert=mindprodcert2017rsa
Configure.java your certificate password with environment SET jarsignerpassword=sesame
Use ANT and rebuild.xml, not build.xml, to recompile and recreate the jar.

----

Use:

Calculates and displays biorhythm graphs.
Enter your birthdate and this Applet and it will calculate
your biorhythms. It computes your 23-day physical, 28-day
emotional, 33-day intellectual and combined cycles. The
combined cycle is sometimes called the luck cycle. The
theory of biorhythms is when the cycles are positive/high
you will have high energy. When they are negative/low you
will have low energy. When they are zero or critical, you
will have unstable energy.
I can prepare you a customised version for a $25 fee. You
need to send me three things:
1. What you want to see as the title, brand it
with your name.
2. a 75x75 gif, jpg or png logo for the upper
left corner.
3. a 75x75 gif, jpg or png logo to show on
especially "lucky" days (optional)
To install, Extract the zip download with WinZip, available from
http://www.winzip.com (or similar unzip utility) into any
directory you please, often C:\ -- ticking off the "user
folder names" option. To run as an application, type:
java.exe -jar C:\com\mindprod\bio\bio.jar
adjusting as necessary to account for where the jar file is.
