rolotool under SunView was available from the Sun User's group.  I believe
they have an XView version of rolotool.  They were giving the XView source
away at the last SUG.  (I'll ask them to post a follow up on how to get the
XView rolotool source).

The DeskSet for OpenWindows (next major release later this year) includes
a calander manager.  For a demo and available times etc, I suggest dropping
by your local Sun sales office or booth at a trade show.

If you want to use XView tools, you'll need either the OpenWindows binary
product or the XView source product on the MIT X11R4 tape (plus two patches
on expo--whole thing, patched is on expo as well).
