Is there any personal information organizer around for the NeXT?

When I had a chance to play on a demo system running 2.0, I found a demo
application called Calendar.  Although I didn't have much time to play with it,
It seemed fairly thorough.  I thought it was better organized than Cassandra
(a PD appointment organizer which came out about a 6mos./1year ago), and had
more options...

hope this helps...

There is a commercial package out there called Calendoscope. It is fairly
big and unruly and I refuse to use it although it has the features that
I'm looking for. The interface is rather ugly and I have talked to the
author on several occassions about it and he seems very unwilling to 
change it. His loss.

There is a demo version of it on cs.orst.edu in the directory pub/next/demos
I think. Check it out for yourself. All of the ordering info is built into
the program.

What I would like to see is a multi-user calendar with a nice interface.
I really like the one that comes with OpenLook 2.0 (Sun's X interface.)
The only problem is that I refuse to use OpenLook. :-)
