Emacs calendar/diary package has now appeared:

``Calendrical Calculations'' by Nachum Dershowitz and Edward M. Reingold,
Software---Practice & Experience, vol. 20, no. 9 (September, 1990),
pp. 899--928.

I am now in the process of fixing a few small problems and adding a few

bug reports, and suggestions to me as soon as possible.
