1. A few months ago, someone posted four ftp sites. I know about cica.cica.indiana.edu. What were the other three? 2. Does anyone know of a windows calendar with functionality similar to the WordPerfect calendar, i.e. alarm, ability to set weekly appoint- ments, plenty of space for notes? Thanks. I've been having problems getting mail through the nets, so either reply through a follow-up or mail to the bitnet address below.

I recently picked up a shareware calendar program named ALMANAC that looks pretty good (ie, come payday I'm going to try to register it.) The address in the program (and accompanying documentation) is: Impact Software 2321 S. Magnolia Ave. #9D Ontario, CA 91761 The program provides a typical calendar page (one month) with dates labelled from an "overlay". They provide a national overlay (4th July, ...) and you can specify (and create) more (up to 10 total). These overlays seem to be the method for your "set appointments". Hitting a specific day switches to a "desktop" with a clock/alarm, notepad, and scheduler. It seems as though the implementor also tried to solve some problems for some Jewish friends because there is the ability to turn on the showing of Jewish holidays (you can also turn on or off the showing of Christian holidays), the time of sunrise and sunset, and the displaying the calendar as the Jewish calendar instead of the usual Gregorian. There are a lot of options but they are not obtrusive as you work your way around. ----------- Mike Lipsie mikel@pyramid.com Pyramid Technology Corp, Mountain View, CA +1 415 335 8657 "Toto kansasoseum non est cognito" -- Phil Frank
