I'm looking for a good diary/appointment/calendar program that will
run on a unix system (specifically an IBM RS/6000).  I had a really
nice program called appt which I've been using for a while on a
different machine, but I had to delete the source due to a desperate
disk space shortage.  Also, I couldn't get it to compile on an
RS/6000.  

I tried remind, which was posted recently, but I couldn't get it to
do a decent calendar:  it insisted on showing an entire month, which
invariably sent the top half of it scrolling off the screen.

If someone could point out where I could ftp the source for appt, I'd
appreciate it.  If anyone has any suggestions for other programs
they've used and liked, I'd also appreciate that.

BTW, an example of appt output, which is ideal for my uses, follows:
