Purpose: Discussion of Tcl support (or lack thereof) of iCalendar as it relates to RFC2445 ( http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2445.txt ) Are there any packages that support any part of that entire group of RFCs relating to internet calendaring? [LV] see if you can track down the [iCal] program - it was an early attempt to support it. Back in 2000, [Phil Ehrens] mentioned that he was the ''current unwilling maintainer'' of ical. ---- Basic form of a iCalendar file (see the above referenced RFC for description): BEGIN:VCALENDAR VERSION:2.0 BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Watch Re-run of Trigun DESCRIPTION:I really should not spend time calendaring watching re-runs. STATUS:TENTATIVE DTSTART:20040715T010000Z DTEND:20040715T020000Z DTSTAMP:20040713T100000Z END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR ---- [LV] I've looked around and not found much of anything that deals with the format. For a while, I was trying to find some kind of package that would allow me to bridge between Outlook's calendar server and Solaris's calendar server. At this point, it looks to me like Sun's Java Desktop System (which is the new marketing term for whatever GUI environment Sun decides to put together) is going to be including something different for calendaring, so I am not bothering to search farther. ---- I've written an iCalendar parser to [::struct::tree] ... I'll get around to putting it up soon, but I have been annoyed by iCalendar's inflexible view of events.
