I'm looking for a package that will allow users on a mac network to view each others' schedules and -- given the right permissions -- make updates and additions. Ideally it would have the functionality of the UNIX "month" utility, which allows a user to post private events which are not viewable by others. I could live without that capability, though. According to the WordPerfect folks, the Mac version of "Office" will do the trick. However, it also has a lot of bells and whistles that I won't need. It also won't be out until April or May. Can anyone recommend others? I realize this ain't the most exciting topic in the world, so mail to me and I'll summarize if there's enough interest. -Mick mlaver@ucsd

It is a pair of DAs and an INIT (for Smart Alarms); not much in the bells&whistles department, it does its job and nothing else, and does it well (IMHO). The network version is, I believe, $99 (for 5 users) from MacWarehouse. The one problem I have with it is their special installer for Smart Alarms; no doubt it's intended to work with early MacOSes without the INIT file capability, but I would prefer the option of installing it with standard tools so I know what it's doing to my poor overworked System file ;-) DISCLAIMER: I have nothing to do with JAM Software, I'm just a reasonably happy user of the product. ++Brandon -- Brandon S.
