I've tried to use monthd on a MicroVAX-II running 4.3BSD.  The problem with
it not announcing events can probably be solved by adding a line like:

	fflush(tty);

in the function which prints the message on the terminal.  


I also have the problem with monthd not exiting when I log out; I have not
yet had the time to solve that problem.
