That looks quite interesting, thank you, I'll have a play with it. A bonus is the fact that it can interface with a Palm PDA.

I should add that the data file (by default ~/.dayplan) is a plain text file and is parseable. Some examples from mine: [...]
I should also have added that the "Calendar" window itself has a "Search" button, which initially offers you a choice between
Today Tomorrow This week Next week This month All Private One file Search keywords
All but the last two give you an instance of the Appointment edit window, with an item for every day with an appointment.
The last but one gives access to different data files.
The last one opens a different dialogue box with radio buttons
Search mode: Literal case sensitive Literal case insensitive Regular expression
and a "Search for" text entry box. So basic search can be done directly from within 'plan' itself, and you don't need to go to the underlying data file. However, if you're after anything more complicated then a "search engine" applied to the file itself would give better results.
Cheers, Ted.
