| For some obscure reason, the release notes are not in the place VMSINSTAL
expects to find them (DECW$CALENDAR020.RELEASE_NOTES) but instead get
copied in as DECW$CALENDAR_RELEASE_NOTES.MEM.

Funny you should ask. Not that we wouldn't want to do it, but there's
a project with such a charter. Take a look at the CLT::DECPLAN
conference to learn more.
Thanks,
Denis.

| 947.8 | Calendar Ultrix Baselevel | CASEE::LACROIX | Object oriented dog food? No, sorry | Thu Jul 13 1989 09:45 | 130 |
| The DECwindows Calendar Development Team is pleased to announce the
availability of an internal base level of Calendar Version 2 for use on
a DECstation, in an Ultrix/UWS environment. We are sorry not to be able
to make a VAX/Ultrix kit available: the situation will soon be
corrected. This base level is functionally identical to the version of
Calendar which will be shipping with the next major functional release
of UWS.
Features Highlight:
Be sure to read the Release Notes. Here is however a shortened list of
the new features available in this release:
� The Day View has been completely rewritten: overlapping entries
are now supported, entries can be dragged around, entries can
be stretched, icons can be associated with an entry, day notes
for a day can be entered, etc...
� Calendar now supports two new print formats, in addition to the
ability to print plain text available in V1: DDIF and native
PostScript.
� Many new custominzing options are now available: general
customizing options, specific options for the day view, default
alarms or the icon box.
� Calendar now supports many new styles of repeating entries: you
now can enter 'a meeting which happens on the second monday of
each month, but which should be skipped if that day happens to
be a non-working day', complex repeating daynotes (like
Washington's Birthday...), etc... Be sure to read the Release
Notes for more on repeats.
� The timeslot editor is no longer modal; several editors can be
used.
� Some menu items have been shuffled around to conform to the XUI
style guide, and to conform in general to the look and feel of
other DECwindows applications.
� UIL is now used to ease the translation process.
� Most bugs, QARs, glitches which have been reported against V1 of
Calendar seem to have been fixed.
Known Problems:
� This is the first Ultrix base level of DECwindows Calendar
Version 2 to be widely distributed. It is not production
quality software, and should be used at your own risk.
� This Calendar kit was built in a Ultrix 3.0 / UWS 2.1
environment. We have done limited testing in terms of
interoperatiblity with other releases of UWS.
� Calendar writes many messages to SYS$OUTPUT which look like:
"X Toolkit Warning: DwtDrm__WCI_GetArgDesc detected error
Descriptor for argument". These toolkit messages messages can
be safely ignored.
� Calendar doesn't consistently produce Postscript output when
asked to; you'll have to re-select the Postscript format for
every new printing operation.
� Calendar has problems dealing with some of the new complex
repeating entries now supported. None of these problems affect
the integrity of the data stored in the calendar file: these
entries which appear to be broken were correctly saved to the
disk:
- Conditional weekday repeats ('the first Wednesday at or
after the 18th'), for which a condition was set ('if a
non-work day then move backwards'), may cause entries
to disappear from days on which they should appear.
Problem Reporting:
� DO NOT SUBMIT QARS FOR THIS BASE LEVEL. It's an internal base
level, not a Field Test. Please use the DECwindows Calendar
conference located at:
CASEE::DECW$CALENDAR
Be sure to identify the version of Calendar, Ultrix and UWS you
are reporting a problem for.
� Alternatively, you can send mail to the following account:
CASEE::DECW$CALENDAR_MAIL
The Ultrix kit can be found in:
LEROUF::DWC$KITS:MIPSKIT.TAR
Installing the kit:
� The installation procedure will overwrite an existing V1
calendar image. You may want to rename /usr/bin/dxcalendar to
/usr/bin/dxcalendar_v1. Other V1 files will not be touched.
� Copy over the tar file. Extract all the files in the tar file
in a temporary/junk directory:
tar xvf mipskit.tar
� Become super user, and then do a:
make install
This will move the following files to the following
directories:
dxcalendar to /usr/bin/dxcalendar
DXcalendar to /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults
dxcalendar_prolog.ps to /usr/lib/X11/app-defaults
dxcalendar.uid to /usr/lib/X11/uid
Aboutframe to /usr/lib/X11/help/dxcalendar
CSH to /usr/lib/X11/help/dxcalendar
Glossary to /usr/lib/X11/help/dxcalendar
Overview to /usr/lib/X11/help/dxcalendar
History to /usr/lib/X11/help/dxcalendar
The release notes will be left sitting in the temporary/junk
directory as mips_release.notes
Thank you,
The Calendar Development Team.

| 947.9 | Looks good... | TLE::DANIELS | Brad Daniels, VAX C RTL whipping boy | Thu Jul 13 1989 13:31 | 4 |
| Does this baselevel allow you to shrink entries? I find it really annoying
to have to delete and re-enter a meeting when something comes up so I'll
have to leave early...
|
| 947.10 | | CSSE32::MERMELL | Window Pain | Sat Jul 15 1989 15:28 | 4 |
| V1 lets you resize entries. Just select the entry and "resize" the
top or bottom border (touch it with button pressed, move it, then
let up on the button).
|
| 947.11 | Am I doing something wrong? | TLE::DANIELS | Brad Daniels, VAX C RTL whipping boy | Mon Jul 17 1989 17:22 | 7 |
| Re .10:
Not my copy... I can make the meeting start later, but I can't make it end
earlier. If I click on the bottom and pull up, nothing happens.

| 947.12 | try this | MEWVAX::AUGUSTINE | Purple power! | Mon Jul 17 1989 18:05 | 5 |
| well, try clicking on the bottom, pulling past the ending time
and then pulling up again. works for me, but is possibly unintuitive.

|
| 947.13 | That did it... | TLE::DANIELS | Brad Daniels, VAX C RTL whipping boy | Fri Jul 21 1989 13:07 | 7 |
| Thanks... I don't know why I didn't think of that... :-)
Actually, I suppose it does make sense when you think about how window
resizing works...

| 947.14 | New Calendar X2.0-3 Base Level available | CASEE::LACROIX | Object oriented dog food? No, sorry | Tue Aug 29 1989 09:41 | 66 |
| The DECwindows Calendar Development Team is pleased to announce the
availability of a new Internal Base Level of Calendar Version 2
(X2.0-3) for use in a DECwindows V1 environment. This is the last Base
Level of Calendar which will be provided by the Development Team, and
is identical (bug for bug) to the version of Calendar which will ship
with DECwindows V2. The previous Base Level is retired effective
immediately.
******************************************************************
*** This Base Level is only available for DECwindows V1 ***
*** environments. Do NOT install this Base Level is you are ***
*** running ANY version of DECwindows V2. ***
******************************************************************
Features Highlight:
No new features since the previous Base Level was released. Be sure to
read the Release Notes. Calendar will prompt you to upgrade your
database. If you have already used the previous Base Level of Calendar
V2, then no real update will take place. The only thing happening is
that the revision level of your database is incremented to become in
sync with what Calendar V2 SSB will inforce on all platforms.
Known Problems:
All known bugs reported in this notes file, or in one of the QAR
databases, have been fixed. There's one V1 specific problem remaining:
� Calendar writes many messages to SYS$OUTPUT which look like:
"X Toolkit Warning: DwtDrm__WCI_GetArgDesc detected error
Descriptor for argument". These messages can be safely ignored.
Problem Reporting:
� DO NOT SUBMIT QARS FOR THIS BASE LEVEL. It's an internal base
level, not a Field Test. Please use the DECwindows Calendar
conference located at:
CASEE::DECW$CALENDAR
Be sure to identify the version of Calendar and VMS you are
reporting a problem for. Use the DECW$CALENDAR_VERSION.COM
procedure to this effect.
� Alternatively, you can send mail to the following account:
CASEE::DECW$CALENDAR_MAIL
The VMSinstallable kit can be found in:
LEROUF::DWC$KITS:DECW$CALENDAR020.A for Europe
CLT::DECPLAN$PUBLIC:DECW$CALENDAR020.A for the Rest of the
World.
Installing the kit:
� This kit will install Calendar in a directory which you specify
during the VMSinstal operation, so that other versions of
Calendar on your system won't be affected. You'll have to use
the command procedure DECW$CALENDAR_START.COM in that directory
to start up this base level of Calendar.

| 947.15 | New Calendar X2.0-4 Base Level available | CASEE::LACROIX | Object oriented dog food? No, sorry | Fri Sep 01 1989 13:04 | 77 |
| DECwindows Calendar X2.0-4 (aka IBL 4) is available for testing. This
base level is essentially identical to the previous one (IBL 3), but
uses a new installation procedure:
� Calendar will be linked on your system at installation time.
You'll thus be able to use Calendar in a V5.1 or V5.1-1
environment as well with V5.2 or T5.2-1.
� The installation procedure has been fixed so that Calendar's
DDIF style sheet in CDA$LIBRARY was created with the
appropriate RMS attributes.
� Calendar doesn't die anymore when generating DDIF. See
restrictions and known problems below.
******************************************************************
*** This Base Level is only available for DECwindows V1 ***
*** environments. Do NOT install this Base Level is you are ***
*** running ANY version of DECwindows V2. ***
******************************************************************
Features Highlight:
No new features since the previous Base Level was released. Be sure to
read the Release Notes.
Known Problems:
All known bugs reported in this notes file, or in one of the QAR
databases, have been fixed.
� You'll not be able to view Calendar's DDIF output. This is
because Calendar uses some naming conventions for its style
sheet not available in a DECwindows V1 environment.
� Calendar writes many messages to SYS$OUTPUT which look like:
"X Toolkit Warning: DwtDrm__WCI_GetArgDesc detected error
Descriptor for argument". These messages can be safely ignored.
� Calendar will prompt you to upgrade your database. If you have
already used the previous Base Level of Calendar V2, then no
real update will take place. The only happening is that the
