[comp.sys.mac] Need info on multi-user calendar

dlv059@ipl.jpl.nasa.gov (Dave Votaw) (09/15/89)

A colleague of mine is interested in getting a calendar system that can
be accessed by his secretary as well as himself.  Both of them are running
SE's on a LocalTalk network with Appleshare.

I've heard about Multi-user Smart Alarms and Layered's Front Desk; does
anyone have any experience with these products in a multi-user environment?
I have not even been able to find any reviews, so pointers would be
appreciated. Also, are there other multi-user calendar/appointment/reminder
systems that you might recommend?

Please e-mail to me, and I will gladly summarize to the net. Thanks.

I am interested in information on a similar subject.  Does anyone know of a
scheduling program for the Mac that will handle a time period for many
meeting, rehearsal, and performance spaces for a period from 8 am to midnight
7 days a week.  It would help greatly if it were multi-user.  Any info and/
or leads would be greatly appreciated.  Please respond via E-mail and I will
post a summary.

Thanks in advance.

I know someone who has done a single-user 4th Dimension database that handles
scheduling for Apple's Videoconference network, and it presently working on a
similar system for Apple's TV network.  I believe he'll be converting the
stuff to multi-user, but I'm not sure.  Also, he's now working in 4D v2.0, so
speed isn't as much of a problem as it used to be.  He'll be retaining the
rights of distribution, etc. on what he's doing, so it's possible he may be
available on a contract basis to customize the system for other uses.  You
can contact me via email and I'll put you in touch with him if this idea
interests you.
