   There are currently two very good calendar implementation that are
   shareware, both available on cica (ftp.cica.indiana.edu).
   

   One is almanac ver 3.0, which is in the uploads directory

   cd pub/pc/win3/uploads

   and is called something like alm30.zip

   The other is activelife version 1.5, and is, I believe, in the utils
   directory, but after the recent rearrangement, I am no longer sure.

   Both handle recurring events extremely well. Active life has an
   automatic scheduling feature that is neat, but its
   visual appearence is  not so great. Rescheduling and moving around are
   good, but viewing things in week/month view are very poor/nonexistent.

   Almnac does cute things like tell you what phase of the moon it is. It
   has a nice visual appearance, but is not as strong at handling
   schedules and rescheduling things.

   I suggest you ftp both and try both.

   The best calendar program that I have seen is OnTime for Windows
   by Campbell services.  This is an off the shelf product that
   handles recurring events extremely well.  It also has
   great network support.  All in all, it is a very
   complete package.
