Hello,
We recen'tly acquired R4 and several local users have moved to it
from sunview.
Two applications that our users miss which are available in
sunview form are a rolodex tool and a calendar/reminder service
program.
To my amazement I have been unable to locate either of these
applications for X.
Does anyone know if either of these applications is available on
the net somewhere?
Thanks
--Frank

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. Ronald P.

Project Athena at MIT wrote rolodX and xcalendar using Motif last summer. They were completed to about 90% and worked well enough to use. I don't know what the status is with them now though. OSF/Motif people also have copies of the source, but they have enough trouble fixing their own bugs. Who knows, they may surface again at some point if the need is there. Philip Thompson

I believe they have an XView version of rolotool. They were giving the XView source away at the last SUG. (I'll ask them to post a follow up on how to get the XView rolotool source). The DeskSet for OpenWindows (next major release later this year) includes a calander manager. For a demo and available times etc, I suggest dropping by your local Sun sales office or booth at a trade show. If you want to use XView tools, you'll need either the OpenWindows binary product or the XView source product on the MIT X11R4 tape (plus two patches on expo--whole thing, patched is on expo as well).
