1.0 Legal Stuff

This program is provided free of charge on an as-is basis.  It may be
redistributed for free in the original archive; other arrangements
could be made on an individual basis.  Although my intent is to create
a properly functioning program that is useful, I accept no liability
for any behavior this program may exhibit and I make not guarantee for
its suitability for any particular purpose.

Java is a trademark of Sun Microsystems.  I'm no lawyer, so imagine a
(tm) symbol wherever you might think it appropriate.

A future version of this program might or might not use a GNU license.

2.0 Overview

Datebook for Java will be a simple appointment calendar program. 
Currently, it only displays months.  You can increment or decrement
the month or year by one.

3.0 Usage / Installation

Set your CLASSPATH variable to include Datebook.jar.  Then execute the
DatebookMonthView class.  You have to hit CTRL-C to break out of it for
now.

4.0 Known Bugs

- Not a bug per se, but drawing of the dates when the month is changed
  happens in some sort of random order

- The month name is sometimes truncated

5.0 Future Directions

A lot must be done.  Here's features I'd like to have:

- Day View
- Week View
- Appointment Creation / Modification / Deletion
- Alarms
- perhaps a TODO list
- Contact / Resource Lists (associate meetings with people and places)
- Create a client/server version, where multiple people can arrange things
  together

My overall goal is to create a set of programs that would be useful on
either a PDA (personal digital assistant) or a desktop.
