WHAT IT IS:
-----------
GPD2000 is a program that tells you when the next Formula One Grand Prix
takes place, and where.

HOW IT WORKS:
------------
The GPD2000.ZIP distribution package contains 2 files:

        GPD2000.EXE      the actual program
        GPD2000.TXT      this document

The GPD2000.EXE program 'asks' the operating system today's date. Then it
searches in an internal calender for the next date a Grand Prix takes
place. The information for the internal calender was obtained from the
FIA's internet page http://www.fia.com.

INSTALLATION:
-------------
Create a directory where you want to keep the program.
  MD C:\GPD2000

Copy the GPD2000.ZIP to the directory.
  XCOPY GPD2000.ZIP C:\GPD2000\

Goto directory and unzip the archive.
  CD C:\GPD2000
  PKUNZIP GPD2000.ZIP

You now can execute the program.
  GPD2000       Prints the next Grand Prix date
  GPD2000 -C    Prints the entire calender for F1 syzon 2000
  GPD2000 -H    Help message

HINTS:
------
GPD2000 was developed to memorize me when the next GP takes place, every
time i start my computer. This is done by calling GPD2000 from the
AUTOEXEC.BAT. This is done, by appending one command to the AUTOEXEC.BAT,
as follows:

  C:\GPD2000\GPD2000.EXE

This works the same with DOS as with Windows 95. Windows 95 in fact is
still a DOS and also has got an AUTOEXEC.BAT. You can hide the Windows 95
clouds by adding 'Logo=0' under the '[Options]' section of Windows's
MSDOS.SYS.

Here is the [Options] piece of my MSDOS.SYS:

  [Options]
  BootMulti=1           ; enable DOS win95 multiboot
  BootMenu=1            ; show bootmenu
  BootGUI=1
  Logo=0                ; hide the win95 clouds
  BootMenu Default=8    ; default-menu item
  BootMenu Delay=15     ; Delay time in seconds
