ctags and strings exist in the public domain form form your local
comp.sources.unix sites or comp.sources.misc sites.

As far as calendar, their is a program called REMINDER from THE STORE,
that performs a similar function.  Otherwise the Calendar program that
you can find in your /etc/fixes directory (if not installed already)
has similar functions to remind you.
