I am looking for ASCII text databases of dates / events to add
to a calendar program that I am using at work.

I have access to files from two different programs so far - one from
a Sun and one from an apple 2.  Now I thought I would see if
there were equivalent files used on the IBM PC.

what I am looking for are sources for info such as:

National Ice Cream Week - Aug 1-7

or

Elvis's birthday - Aug 30, 1920

or

Day the Earth Stood Still first premiered in New York, May 15, 1955

(the above are bogus but of the nature I am looking for).

I will be wanting the data, so that I can reformat it for a different
program.  If you have any leads, please let me know.
