Cal 3.02 Clarifications
Here is some more information about common problems with Cal,
my network calendar.

1.) I intended Cal to be in three .hqx parts, so each part would
be short short enough to get by all the funky mailers people have.
Many sites are archiving it in two parts. You may have to go through
it with a text editor looking for the extra file header before you
de-binhex it.

2.) The year 2000 is a leap year. The year 1900 was not. The software
is correct, my initial posting's cover letter had a vagrant "not." 

3.) Many people have had trouble connecting Cal to a folder. On
Cal's open dialog, look at the name in the pull down menu at the
top of the dialog box. This is the name Cal is using.

Many people look at the selected folder in the list of files and
folders. This is not the name Cal attaches to.

I wrote it this way, because some people (like me) use an entire
shared volume solely for Cal data. Volume names never appear in the
list of files and folders so you couldn't select a volume name if
Cal looked there. Volume names do appear in the pull down menu at 
the top of the dialog box, which is where Cal looks.
