Hi, I was just wonding if anybody out there has experimented using the pcal in /etc/fixes. I have version 3.51. The pcal stuff seems to be intact and runnable-- at least so far! Pcal is pretty neat, so it puzzles me why AT&T is keeping it secret. Anyone know if /etc/fixes/pcal is any different from the teaser they offer in exchange for sending in the warranty card? For the heck of it I installed pcal in my user agent office menu. If you want to do it, here's how: Following the lead in /etc/fixes/.fixedlist, I linked the stuff to the correct directories. I suppose you wouldn't have to... Of course, su to root before attempting to link. ln /etc/fixes/pcal /usr/bin/pcal ln /etc/fixes/pcal.hlp /usr/lib/ua/pcal.hlp Next, make it show up in the ua office. Concatenate the folloing lines to the bottom of /usr/lib/ua/Office. The outdented lines are continuations of the lines above. All the line start in column 1. I can't think of any better way to show this on the net: Name=Personal Calendar Defualt = Run Run=EXEC -d /usr/bin/pcal $LOGNAME $LOGDIR Help=EXEC -d /usr/bin/uahelp -h /usr/lib/ua/pcal.hlp -t "Perso nal Calendar" If you really want to get fancy, you might want to edit /usr/lib/installed/CONTENTS to show that you have "installed" pcal. Installed software is also recorded in /usr/lib/ua/Showsoft.menu. Follow the examples in those files. Happy Holidays, ll Of course, when you put the scalpel to the software-- try at your own risk!
