(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!
