You could also try (public-domain) 'Remind' which was posted to
alt.sources.  You can ftp it from alfred.ccs.carleton.ca (134.117.1.1)
in pub/remind-2.2.06.tar.Z.

[REMIND description follows.  --Ed]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
REMIND is a replacement for the Unix 'calendar' program.  Remind
is much more sophisticated than calendar, and incorporates the following
features:

o	Flexible date specifications
o	Intelligent handling of holidays
o	The ability to run programs at specified dates and times, as well
	as display messages
o	The ability to issue timed reminders which 'pop up' onto the screen
	before meetings, appointments, etc.
o	The ability to remind you of events as far in advance as you desire
o	The ability to produce a printed calendar with reminders automatically
	filled in.
o	Convenient text substitution capabilities within the body of a reminder

David Skoll.
