Can't know. If uses windows...


My code uses forthcoming appointments. What you get is this a frame
like this.


================================================

with *Calendar* in it. 


================================================


with *Forthcoming Appointments* in it


================================================




With a day page




================================================



As you move around the calendar, it displays the 
appointments and day page for what ever is at point. But, in the idle
cycle, so if you move over lots of pages quickly, it doesn't lag to
hell. 

As I say, it's a hack. I've just realised that it crashes if you
haven't already run M-x calendar. Will probably fix this over time.
