[Coco] [coco] Today <OS9

[George Ramsower]

If anyone wishes to share information that can be added to this, please let 
me know. I'll let you know the format for the text files this is based on 
and we can add to it.
I run this each day when I first boot up. It's fun. If you also have "today" 
and want a copy of the files I have, I can put it on the web for 
downloading.
