I brought up the recently posted "month". The program itself seems to
work quite nicely, but the daemon program that checks for appointments
does not. Specifically, it should go away after the user logs out, and it
doesn't. I don't think it works at all, actually, cuz it hasn't been
announcing my engagements, as it ought to.

The system is microvax II with ultrix 1.2. I used gcc-1.28 to build.

Any help, anybody?

----------

As someone else already mentioned, on systems where /dev/tty is not line
buffered by default, a "fflush(tty)" needs to be added at the end of
"print_reminder()".  This will be included in an upcoming patch.

As far as the program not terminating when you log out, I'll look into that
and post an announcement when I find out something.

Thanks for all the kind words on the program.
