I don't recall seeing such a discussion.  I've checked it out and pcal
seems to be an interesting program.  Maybe someone can answer the
following two questions:

1. Where is, or how does one get, the part(s) that are still missing -
   e.g. the program for setting one's preferences.  Or at least the
   format and the file where these things should reside.

2. Why is pcal so excruciatingly slow when run outside ua, e.g. with
   'windy'?  Can anything be done about this?

Thanks,
