chuq@plaid.Sun.COM (Chuq Von Rospach) (01/26/88)
Here's the latest status on comp.sys.mac.programmer. I've merged in the
votes gotten by the other vote takers, removed duplicates and votes posted
to the network instead of mailed, and otherwise cleaned up the list. The
voting, after all of that, is 101-10 in favor of creating. This puts us over
the limit, although I'd like a larger margin of error in case some of the
accounts turn out to be bogus, so if you haven't voted yet, please do so.
This means that all we have to do is wait the three weeks or so for the 30
day period to finish and the group will be created. Way to go, folks!
I'm not posting the entire (115K) file of mail messages. If anyone wants to
see it, send me mail. If I've got your vote wrong or it is missing or you
want to change it or you see some other problem, send me mail.

A while back I asked if anyone has ported the PD program called
"month" to the Mac. I got no response. To give an idea of what the
program does, I'll paraphrase/plagiarize the UN*X man page which
came with the source distribution:
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
month - a visual calendar and time/event organizer
. . .
Overview
Month displays a calendar of the current month of the
current year, with the current day highlighted. It then
allows the user to browse to any month/day/year, and to
schedule and recall events for a day or for some regu-
lar repeating series of days.
Screen Areas
There are four distinct areas of the screen: the days
area where the days of the month are listed in calendar
format, the months area where the months of the year
are listed, the years area where a sequence of years
are listed, and the schedule area.
. . .
Scanning events
The S key will cause a sequential list of events for
the current day to be displayed in the schedule area.
The events for any given day may be scanned, deleted,
or modified. After displaying each one, the prompt "
[n,p,d,e,q] " is put up and will respond to these char-
acter commands:
'n': go to next event
'p': go to previous event
'd': delete this event
'e': edit this event as during a posting described
below
'q': quit the scan and return to calendar
<ESC>: same as 'q'
. . .
-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+
I know the program has been ported to Sun workstations under the
name "monthtool". It seems that a similarly useful program would
have made it to the Mac environment by now. If not, I may consider
doing the port myself (curses ==> Toolbox conversion required).
*Please* let me know if I'd be wasting my time! I'd hate to do
all this work only to find that it's already been done better...

This program is similar to my shareware Calendar. The current version is
Cal 3.02. There will be a 3.03 as soon as I speed up my phase-of-the-moon
code. The routine I am using now is accurate, and only slows the display
of a month's calendar by 1/5 second on a MacIIcx. On a MacPlus, it slows
the display by 5 seconds, which is too slow. I will release it when I am
doing better.
