hello net, I am looking for an appointment scheduler for unix. Perhaps an expanded version of cal. It should be character based, and allow for entering appointments ,reminders and notes. thanks, ira ekhaus ibekhaus@athena.mit.edu

Sounds like you could use some of the tools out of the Andrew Toolkit (ATK) from Carnegie-Mellon. They have things like mr.cal (a calendar function that allows you to query other users and set up meetings), mr.reminder (which will actually pop up a window reminding you when you're supposed to be in a meet- ing), and other such utilities. >It should be character based, and allow for entering appointments >,reminders and notes. Unfortunately, I don't think that ATK is character based (can't be, it runs on X11), so maybe not such a good idea after all. >thanks, >ira ekhaus >ibekhaus@athena.mit.edu jerry -- Jerry Heyman by day: IBM AWD, AIX Development zebr360@emx.utexas.edu by nite: Adjunct Lecturer at St. Edward's Univ. *All comments are my own and should not be construed to represent any one else

(This is a posting for Ira B. Ekhaus, ibekhaus@athena.mit.edu) There is an appointment calendar program called 'appt' available for anonymous ftp from fionavar.mit.edu. To get it: ftp fionavar.mit.edu [18.72.0.96] (login: anonymous, password: your username or whatever you want) The file is compressed, in the /pub directory, and called appt.shar.Z. Once you're connected, switch to binary format: ftp> binary ftp> cd pub ftp> get appt.shar.Z After you quit ftp, you'll need to uncompress the file (it is 29K compressed, 64K uncompressed) and extract it: uncompress appt.shar.Z sh appt.shar From there you can build it with 'make' (the makefile doesn't need editing); you'll need yacc and lex and cc. I've built it on a DECstation3100, VAXstation 3100, and on an IBM RT, all running Project Athena's variant of BSD4.3, and it works without problems. I can't guarantee it on any other platforms. The archive will remain on fionavar.mit.edu for a couple of months. Use and enjoy! ---------------------------------------------William Chuang, MIT '91 ARPA: wchuang@athena.mit.edu | Project Athena Student BITNET: wchuang%athena.mit.edu@MITVMA.BITNET| Consultant UUCP: ...!mit-eddie!athena.mit.edu!wchuang| -- ---------------------------------------------William Chuang, MIT '91 ARPA: wchuang@athena.mit.edu BITNET: wchuang%athena.mit.edu@MITVMA.BITNET UUCP: ...!mit-eddie!athena.mit.edu!wchuang

We use csos, a locally developed program, to handle appointment scheduling at the University of Illinois CSO consulting office. Csos was developed specifically for our needs, so I'm not sure if it is what you are looking for. I've made the csos src code available via ftp-anon to ux1.cso.uiuc.edu in the doc/csos directory. It is a compressed tar file called csos.tar.Z. Make sure to set your mode to binary when ftp'ing. Enjoy it!
