I have an alarm/calendar tool, which uses an input file in cron-like format.
It will notify me at a time specified and beep and/or print out the message
I assigned to that time.  It's a little weak, and I've been incrementally
improving it (now it will tell me appointments today and/or tomorrow).

What I am really looking for is an already-completed program to do something
similar, with a more intuitive input format, which will let me know about
scheduling conflicts, will notify me in advance (potentially repeatedly,
potentially until I "hit the snooze button," etc.), etc., but I don't want
to spend forever working on it.

Has anyone else done something like this and gotten in lots of nifty features
yet?  Please e-mail me source and manual/description/README.  If there's
enough interest, I will post the best results to comp.sources.misc.

Thanks in advance,
