Is there a calendar application better than the Date program that comes in /NextDeveloper/Demos? Its functions are handy but it has serious bugs that make it unusable. I checked the index at Purdue and nothing appeared by name to be a calendar/datebook...

A chance to plug my own software. <smirk> Try Cassandra in Purdue. Yeah, yeah "Stupid name for a date program..." What about "Stuart" then. (Sorry Scott!) Cassandra provides your basic date program and some extra kitchen-sink features (like a Mac style notebook and calculator). It's shareware, though, $20 for non-academic users. Oh, a known bug: In v1.4a which is on the FTP servers, the Week Window will not work unless you have at least one (1) event in the event queue. A fix has been distributed to the registered users (you know who you are and if you haven't heard from me, your e-mail address is not current in my database, please e-mail back to me). :-) - jiro ps. Just so I'm not self-advertising too much. The two other commercial applications that might fit your ticket are: Calendoscope (by looking glass software, it's $95 (according to NextWorld)), this is much more powerful than Cassandra but has a (in my opinion) garish interface. And then there is "Who's Calling?" by Adamation, this is a really great package, I got to play with it once. It is your basic secretary in an application. It's $495. You get what you pay for. :-( -- Jiro Nakamura jiro@shaman.com Shaman Consulting (607) 253-0687 VOICE "Bring your dead, dying shamans here!" (607) 253-7809 FAX/Modem

There's also the very complete "remind" package that's neither commercial nor shareware, just good, honest free software for anyone who's not so brain-dead that even inherently non-graphical applications have to be made graphical for him. -- Irving_Wolfe@happym.wa.com Happy Man Corp. 206/463-9399 x101 4410 SW Pt.
