kfc.app is a free calendar program similar in functionality to the old 'Date' program- for those who remember that.... However, kfc is more powerful than I remember Date being, and it has a human-readable file format! For those of you who tried kfc.app in it's previous release and thought 'This would be a neat app, if it did more and behaved well', check it out. Some general features: kfc displays the full month's appointments and has a mini-view of the next and previous month's appointments. May load up any number of appointment files (and can be set to auto-load files on startup). Context sensitive help. Handles logout and powerdown gracefully. Hey, it's free! Some of the more obvious appointment features: Specify full or partial date (eg. No specific month will repeat every month). Specify a time (w/ or w/o repeat warnings). Specify a number of days to repeat. Specify an expiration date for repeat appointments. Specify a day of the week (eg. 2nd tuesday of the month). Specify the number of days ahead of time to give warning. Specify the type of warning (Panel, Mail, both, or none). kfc is currently at Version 1.0.0. kfc is very powerful, does everything I want it to, but not everything everyone could want. I will maintain kfc and distribute upgrades to the archives as they become practical. If you would like to see something changed/added, let me know. Better yet, offer to change it yourself! If you are interested in hacking the code, please do tell me what you're up to - I hate to see effort duplicated. kfc depends on the MiscKit (a lot!!). You will need MiscKit 1.5.0 or later to compile it. NOTE: if you try to compile kfc with a version of the MiscKit lower than 1.5.0 it may well compile without warning, but it will not function correctly due to old bugs in the MiscTime class. The kfc data files use a subset of the format used in the unix program 'remind'. remind is written by David F. Skoll and is available in usenet archives. kfc is being release as source code under the GNU GENERAL PUBLIC LICENSE. Note to ftp site admin: This release should replace the previous one. Please delete the previous kfc.app files.
