ical is a Tcl/Tk based calendar/reminder application. It is quite popular with PDA users, since its storage format is generally compatible with other applications. [Sanjay Ghenamawat], ical's author, is "no longer developing ical", in his own words. His last release was 2.2a [ftp://ftp.scriptics.com/pub/tcl/apps/ical/]. ---- Information about ical was at one point accessible from http://clef.lcs.mit.edu/%7Esanjay/ical.html . Two mailing lists have been set up for ical-related information. Ical is a calendar application written using the Tk toolkit. To subscribe, send mail to either mailto:ical-announce-request@lcs.mit.edu or mailto:ical-request@lcs.mit.edu . *** Do not forget the "-request" part!!! *** mailto:ical-announce@lcs.mit.edu consists of new announcments about the source code (including beta releases), and other announcements of high interest to ical installers/users/hackers. The traffic on this list should be fairly low. mailto:ical@lcs.mit.edu is a list used for general discussion about ical. Mail sent to "ical-announce" will be automatically forwarded here, so you do not have to subscribe to both lists. What: ical - a calendar manager Where: http://filewatcher.org/file_i/617850/ical.html http://www.jp.netbsd.org/ja/JP/Documentation/Packages/list/time/ical/README.html http://www.freebsd.org/ports/deskutils.html http://sf.net/projects/syncal/ http://perso.wanadoo.fr/dockes/ical/ Description: A calendar application - previously required InterViews libraries but now uses only tk. Designed for Tcl 7/Tk 3.3. This is implemented as a set of date management extensions and a Tcl/Tk interpreter. Also contains a class system with methods for Tcl. V2.x requires a C++ compiler, Tcl 7.4 and Tk 4.0 or later. See the freebsd site for v2.2 of ical. Syncal is a program to synchronize your ical with a Palm Pilot date book. A patched version of ical 2.2.1a that should build on Tcl 8.3 and newer versions was made available several times in the past for people to mirror; I unfortunately am unaware of any specific location for ical-2.2.1a.tar.gz . At the wanadoo site, find a port of ical 2.2 to Windows. Author no longer provides support for this tool. Updated: 05/2002 Contact: Unknown ---- I was the next-to-last maintainer for Ical. I created the ical-2.2.1a patch. That said, I would encourage somebody to rewrite Ical as a pure Tcl/Tk application. It has a well developed interface and is a useful application. Given Richard's calendar widget it would be a trivial rewrite. Rewrite should be based on the interface, not the old code. ---- [Category Application]
