+Birthday
+
+This is a little program which I originally wrote when I was learning
+C, some time ago now. It has gone through a couple of total
+re-writes, the last of which was four or five years ago now[0], but I
+still find it a useful program.
+
+It displays a list of events which are coming up in the near future,
+based on a config file (~/.birthdays) in the user's home directory. I
+include it in my .profile, so I get the list every time I log on. See
+the manpage for more details of this format.
