[comp.windows.x] Is there an X based calentool?

ehrlich@cs.psu.edu (Daniel Ehrlich) (03/16/90)

I was wondering if there is an X based version of calentool?  Has anyone
tried using the XView toolkit to do this?

Thanks.

There is a fabulous new multiuser time management tool called
Synchronize, available from CrossWind Technologies, Inc.  It's
sort of like an online Daytimer, allowing you to select particular
users & resources (such as conference room, slide projector, ...)
and see when you can schedule a meeting without conflicts.  Once
scheduled, the proposed meeting shows up on all invitees calendars,
from which they can accept or decline.  The program also includes
automatically-propogating to-do items, reminders, recurring events,
alarms, popup notes (such as meeting agendas), custom permissions,
etc., etc., etc.  It's in beta now.  For more information, contact
Chris Knudsen (chris@xwind.com) at 408-335-4988.

Next release of OpenWindows includes a calander written in XView.

Solbourne provides a nice appointment book program (called sappt) that is
pretty similar to calentool.

As you might expect, Digital has a calendar program (dxcalendar)
provided on our 
product.

But....

If each company posts a message that it has each possible application
(like a calendar program), this newsgroup will end up getting inundated
as applications from both themselves and other 3rd parties come online.

I suggest that such traffic be MAILED to people who ask for
applications, and they
can summarize to the newsgroup, rather than the newsgroup getting the M
times N 
message problem we are beginning to see.  This reduces it to an order N message
problem, which is much more managable to all concerned.  I personally don't
care if there is a product that runs on XYZ workstation manufacturer's
hardware,
unless the program is public domain, it is not of general interest, except in
summary form.
