%% intro
	INTRODUCTION

	This program combines the functions of the various graphical calendar
	tools, and an alarm facility such as calendar(1). In the main window,
	a month calendar is displayed, consisting of 28..31 day boxes. Into
	each of these day boxes, appointments may be entered that trigger on
	that day, at a particular time.

	To enter an appointment, click on the daybox the appointment should
	go into. An appointment list popup appears. Click on the top "time"
	button. A date appears next to it, and there is a cursor in the time
	button. Enter a time, such as "11:00", and press Return. Skip the
	length button by pressing Return again. Now the rightmost button
	has a cursor in it; enter a short description of the appointment
	and press Return again. The appointment is now added; you can enter
	another one or press Done to exit the menu. The appointment has now
	appeared in the day box of the month calendar.

	An alternative way of entering appointments is the year calendar. It
	is accessible from the Year pulldown menu of the main month calendar.
	Its day boxes work exactly like those of the month calendar. Finally,
	the week view allows editing appointments by double-clicking them.

	In addition to simply adding an appointment by date, time, and note,
	various options such as repetitive appointments, advance warnings,
	message texts, automatic execution of shell scripts etc. are available
	in the appointment list menus.

	Appointments can also be entered from the command line, using a
	command like

	     plan 1015 wake up and go home

	The date and time is in date(1) format, [mmdd]hhmm.

	When plan started up, it may have complained that no daemon is running,
	and offered to start one. The daemon is a separate program that waits
	for appointments to trigger, and takes appropriate action when one
	does. This means that without the daemon, no alarm will ever trigger.
	It also means that this interactive program does not have to run for
	alarm triggers, only the daemon always exists.

	plan reads appointments from files or from an IP server "netplan". The
	File->File list can be used to configure file names and server hosts.
	plan does not start netplan automatically; it must already run on the
	specified hosts.
%% help
	GETTING HELP

	To get general help on a popup menu, press the Help button in that
	popup menu.

	To get help on a pulldown menu in the main month calendar window,
	install the pulldown menu by pressing and releasing the left mouse
	button on the menubar button, then press the HELP or F1 keyboard key.

	Help on most buttons is available by choosing "On Context" in the Help
	pulldown, and then pressing on a button or calendar. Every help window
	contains a Context button that does the same thing as "On Context".

	Normally, the Help or F1 keyboard keys are not very helpful, because
	many of the interesting items either have no shadow (so you don't
	know which tab group member has focus), or are drawn using Xlib.
%% trouble
	TROUBLESHOOTING

	*  If you get the message "No type converter registered for 'Pixel' to
	    'String' conversion", you probably have a CDE system that overrides
	    standard resources with nonfunctional values. Run "plan -d >>
	    ~/.Xdefaults; xrdb -merge" to fix.

	*  If the time display in the month view and in the icon title do not
	    update, and/or you get the message "X server fails to send timer
	    events, switching to synchronous file writing", there is something
	    wrong with your X server (probably XFree). The message shows that
	    plan has noticed this (after changing an appointment at least 40
	    seconds after startup) and will at least make sure that no data is
	    lost. There is no fix for the time display.

	*  If you get messages like "pland: .../.dayplan: illegal line:
	    y s--------- 1 1 0" or "pland: too many u stmts in .../.dayplan",
	    you are running the wrong pland version, 1.4.4 or earlier instead
	    of 1.4.7 or higher. Install the correct version of pland in the
	    directory specified as LIB in the Makefile (/usr/local/mi/lib by
	    default). Also make sure notifier, netplan, plan.help, and
	    plan_cal.ps are in the same directory.

	*  If you run netplan as root, and it can't open its home directory,
	    check whether NOB_UID and NOB_GID in the Makefile really contain
	    the user and group ID of the <nobody> account, and make sure that
	    <nobody> can access the netplan.dir home directory in $(LIB).

	*  if holidays are not shown in the month view, make sure that your
	    day number font (Plan*calNumberFont) is at least twice as large
	    as your note font (plan*calNoteFont).

	*  if holidays are not shown in the week view, there may not be enough
	    space, and you need to increase the bar height. Try this in your
	    .Xdefaults file: "Plan*weekBarHeight: 26" (without the quotes).

	*  pland does not execute scripts attached to appointments that were
	    read from a server, and will print an error message instead. This
	    is necessary because anybody could modify or attach a script to
	    one of your appointments, and have it executed under your user ID.

	*  If plan refuses to change appointments in other files that were
	    attached with the File->File list menu, saying "no permission",
	    make sure that you own the file. Having write permission is not
	    enough. You can override this safety feature by turning off the
	    "Only owner can write" mode in the Config->Calendar menu, but
	    do so with great care because multiple writers are not sequenced.
	    This applies only to files that are not read from netplan servers.

	*  If your screen saver stops working when plan is running, put two
	    lines "Plan*showIconTime: False" and "Plan*showIconDate: False"
	    into your ~/.Xdefaults file. If plan updates the time in the icon,
	    the screen saver timeout is restarted, and never reaches timout
	    because updates happen once every minute. Only some X servers
	    exhibit this problem.

	*  On SGI systems, if the icon doesn't show a picture, copy the icon
	    picture Plan.icon into your ~/.icons directory. If you don't have
	    one and don't want one, set the plan*noIcon resource to False in
	    your ~/.Xdefaults file. It may be necessary to restart 4Dwm to
	    register the icon after copying it to ~/.icons.

	*  If starting plan prints cpp errors to stderr (or pops up an error
	    dialog on SGIs if desktop error reporting is turned on), change
	    all '#' characters in your ~/.holiday to ':'. The comment
	    introducer was changed in version 1.3 to allow #include statements.

	*  If the main menu shows an incorrect time above the month calendar,
	    and alarms trigger an hour early or late, plan might have an
	    incorrect idea of your timezone and Daylight Saving Time status.
	    To correct this, choose "Adjust Time" from the Config pulldown,
	    and change the defaults.

	*  If the pulldowns in the main menu show labels like "button_3", add
	    -DNOMSEP to whatever xxx_C line you are using in the Makefile, and
	    recompile. If the problem persists, also add -DFIXMBAR.

	*  On some BSD-based systems, it takes a while for appointment
	    changes to propagate to the daemon. The result is that alarms that
	    trigger a few minutes after they were added or edited are ignored.
	    This is normal on these systems. However, if alarms don't trigger
	    at all, use the ps command (see man ps) to make sure that pland is
	    running, and verify that its process ID agrees with the number in
	    /tmp/.plandUID (with UID being your numerical user ID). Also, plan
	    may get out of sync if you start more than one, and answer Continue
	    in the warning dialog.

	*  Previous versions of plan contained a recommendation to put "killall
	    pland" into your .logout file. Don't do this, it kills the daemon
	    whenever you delete a window, and no more alarms will trigger.

	*  The plan program uses quite a few colormap entries. Although there
	    is a black&white fallback mode, you may have problems starting other
	    programs that also need many colormap entries. The only workaround
	    is to kill plan when you don't need it; alarms will trigger anyway.

	*  If radio and toggle buttons appear gray regardless of the colToggle
	    and colRed resources, make sure that the sgiMode resource is False.
	    In SGI desktop mode, colToggle and colRed are disabled because they
	    would override the desktop defaults. The sgiMode resource is True
	    only if plan was compiled with "make sgi5", add "plan*sgiMode: False"
	    to your ~/.Xdefaults file in this case, or recompile with "make sgi4".
	*  If you are using LessTif and the File->File list dialog is missing
	    all buttons except the toggles, upgrade to LessTif version 0.87.1
	    or later.

	*  The message "Warning: No type converter registered for 'Pixel' to
	    'String' conversion" on CDE systems such as Sun may mean that a
	    font was not found. Use plan -d to list all resources and verify
	    that all fonts exist, using the xfontsel program. If not, change
	    the lines with bad fonts and add them to your ~/.Xdefaults file.

	If you have problems you can't resolve, or if you have suggestions
	for new features, or porting instructions for new platforms, send mail
	to me at thomas@bitrot.de. Note that the plan version on the
	SGI Developer's Toolbox CD supports only SGI systems. If you mail, do
	not forget to include your version number as reported by "plan -v".
%% files
	FILES AND PROGRAMS

	The calendar program is distributed as four programs and two data
	files: plan, pland, notifier, netplan, plan.help, and plan_cal.ps.
	Plan should be installed in the directory given as DIR in the Makefile,
	by default /usr/local/bin, and the others in the directory given as
	LIB, also /usr/local/bin by default. The distribution also contains
	.holiday files for various countries.

	"plan" is the main interactive calendar program that you are using at
	the moment. It is used to view calendars and to enter appointments
	at specified dates and times, with various optional parameters. It
	depends on the plan.help file, and writes all configuration parameters
	and appointments to two files ".dayplan" and ".dayplan.priv" in the
	user's home directory. It signals the daemon (SIGHUP) when that file
	changes, to force the daemon to re-read it.

	"pland" is the daemon. Its purpose is to watch alarms and warnings,
	and to perform the appropriate action if one triggers. The "plan"
	program need not run to trigger an alarm. "pland" is a very small
	program with no X code, to avoid excessive system load. It reads the
	~/.dayplan* databases, but never writes to them. pland is normally
	started by the user's .xsession or .sgisession file.

	"notifier" displays an ascii text in a color-coded window. It is a
	separate program to keep "pland" small. It handles snoozing all by
	itself.

	"netplan" is an IP server that must be started before plan and pland
	start. It is sufficient to have one per network of hosts. If enabled
	with the File->File list dialog, all plan's and pland's connect to
	the netplan server to read and write appointments. netplan properly
	sequences all events and informs connected programs of changes.

	"plan.help" contains all help messages.

	"plan_cal.ps" is a PostScript skeleton containing PostScript code
	used by plan when printing calendars. This file can be used to change
	the defaults for margins and fonts; future versions may use popup
	menus for this task. Always keep the original version when editing it.

	"Plan.icon" is an SGI RGB picture file that should be copied to the
	~/.icons directory. On SGIs, the noIcon resource is set to True by
	default to make 4Dwm use the full-color picture. It may be necessary
	to restart 4Dwm to register the icon.

	In the user's home directory, there are three files. ".dayplan" contains
	the public appointments (the ones without the padlock icon in the
	appointment list menu, which can be displayed in other users' week
	views). ".dayplan.priv" contains the private appointments (the ones
	with a padlock, which cannot be accessed by other users). ".holiday"
	contains a description of public holidays and vacations as specified
	with the Define Holidays popup in the Config pulldown. For a description
	of the .dayplan* format, see the plan(4) manpage.

	If the LIB directory (specified in the Makefile) contains a file
	"holiday", it is read after ".holiday" to add system-wide holidays to
	the user's holiday list.

	Both plan and pland use the environment variables $PATH, $PLAN_PATH, a
	built-in default path, and the directories DIR and LIB specified in the
	Makefile for locating programs and plan.help.
	plan does not start netplan automatically; it must already run on the
	specified hosts.

	plan can read database files created by the desktop database manager
	"xmbase-grok", version 1.4 and later. Grok is a database manager that
	includes a GUI builder to define custom database applications, and
	comes with predefined applications such as a phone directory, a todo
	list, a workplan manager, a bibliography and others. Grok is available
	on the same servers as plan. The primary servers are ftp.fu-berlin.de
	and ftp.x.org. See http://www.bitrot.de/index.html.
%% network
	NETWORKING

	netplan is an IP service. There is normally only one on a network of
	hosts. It manages all appointment files for all plan and pland programs
	on the network. The advantage over having these programs read files is
	that multiple access is sequenced such that nobody overwrites or cancels
	changes by others, and that everybody is immediately informed of changes
	automatically.

	netplan must be started manually before the first plan or pland is
	started. It sits on a port on a specific host, by default port 5444.
	It should be started as user "nobody", but any other user will work
	as long as it can read and write netplan's home directory (defined in
	netplan_if.h, by default /usr/local/lib/netplan.dir). If netplan is
	started as root, it switches to "nobody". This is useful if netplan
	is started from a boot script like /etc/rc2.d/S99netplan (System V)
	or /etc/rc.local (BSD).

	There are several security concerns. netplan does not provide access
	authentification. Everybody can read and write any file managed by
	netplan. For this reason, plan continues to keep private (padlocked)
	appointments in a ~/.dayplan.priv file, not under netplan control.


	SECURITY FEATURES

	Apart from the ability for everybody to access everybody else's non-
	private appointments, netplan must satisfy general security concerns.
	In particular, it must not be usable to open network security holes
	that allow access to files that have nothing to do with plan. The
	security features are:

	*  if run by root or setuid root, netplan switches to "nobody". The
	    UID and GID of <nobody> is compiled in, not determined at runtime.
	    netplan will refuse to run setgid-but-not-setuid root.

	*  netplan does not execute other programs (this is one of the reasons
	    why there are still pland daemons).

	*  netplan cannot be used to access files that are not in its home
	    directory, /usr/local/lib/netplan by default. Absolute paths are
	    converted to paths relative to the home directory, and paths with
	    ".." are rejected.

	*  netplan refuses to access softlinks and files that have more than
	    one hardlink. This may be inconvenient at times, but without this
	    the user who started netplan would be wide open to the entire net.

	*  netplan is not sendmail. All buffers are checked for overflows. It
	    is implemented as a single 1158-line C file and can be hand-checked
	    easily.

	*  netplan is Purify'd.

	*  the pland daemon does not execute scripts that were read from a server.
%% widgets
	WIDGETS AND RESOURCES

	plan uses the following environment variables:

	   PLAN_TZ provides defaults for the timezone and Daylight Saving Time.
	   TZ provides the defaults if PLAN_TZ is not set.
	   LOGNAME provides your user name for the default mailer command.
	   USER provides your user name if LOGNAME is undefined.
	   user provides your user name if LOGNAME and USER are both undefined.
	   HOME is your home directory, for locating .dayplan* and .holiday.
	   PLAN_PATH and PATH are colon-separated search paths for finding
	      programs. First, BIN and LIB from the Makefile are searched, then
	      PLAN_PATH, then PATH, and finally a built-in default search path.
	      Note that the latter contains the current directory.

	To get a list of default X resources of the "plan" program, run it with
	the -d option. The output can be directly appended to the .Xdefaults
	file in your home directory or saved into a file "Plan" in your
	app-defaults directory. If you install a system wide app-default file
	make sure that lines do not start with "plan"; otherwise users might
	not be able to override the setup. Omit the application name or use
	the application class name "Plan". The "notifier" program also supports
	a -d option.

	For example, for a much smaller month calendar, append these lines
	to your ~/.Xdefaults file or modify your app-defaults file:

	      Plan*colGrid: #909090
	      Plan*menubar*fontList: -*-helvetica-bold-*-normal-*-14-*
	      Plan*fontList: -*-*-medium-r-*-*-14-*
	      Plan*calNumberFont: -*-helvetica-*-r-*-*-14-*
	      Plan*calBoxWidth: 40
	      Plan*calBoxHeight: 34
	      Plan*calBoxMargin: 10
	      Plan*calBoxTitle: 15

	The resources of "notifier" can be set similarly. Its application class
	name is "Notifier". Here are plan's main resources, listed by view, in
	the order geometry, fonts, and colors:


	GLOBAL RESOURCES

	    noIcon: don't draw anything into the icon. This should be used on
		SGI systems so that 4Dwm uses the color picture as an icon.
		The color icon should be moved to ~/.icons/Plan.icon .
	    showIconTime: if true, show the current time in the icon title. For
		some reason, this may prevent the screen saver from kicking in.
	    showIconDate: if true, show the current date and time in the icon
	        title. For some reason, this may prevent the screen saver from
		kicking in.
	    frameToday: put a black frame into today's day box in the month
		view. This is useful on 1-bit black and white systems.
	    noMonthShadow: in the month view, only draw the days that actually
	        fall into this month, don't draw other days as shadows.
	    sgiMode: for SGI systems running IRIX 5.2 only. Switches plan to
		the SGI desktop style if True. colToggle and colRed are ignored
		in this mode. sgiMode is True by default if plan was compiled
		with "make sgi5". sgiMode is far superior to classic Motif. You
		may also set `useSchemes' to True, and set `scheme' to Lascaux.
		When using schemes, many color and font resources are ignored.
	    startupAs: if set to ``smallmonth'', start with small month window

	    menubar*fontList: font for menubar and pulldowns
	    fontList: default font for buttons and titles
	    helpFont: font used in help popups
	    background: standard window background color
	    colStd: standard foreground color for button labels etc
	    colBack: standard background color
	    colWireFrame: used for exclusive-or'ed wireframe boxes when dragging
	    colGrayIcon: color of appt entry option icons if the option is disabled
	    colTextBack: all inset text entry buttons use this color, pink by default
	    colToggle: most toggle buttons use this color when the toggle is on
	    colRed: the pin toggle in appointment edit popups uses this color when on
	    noteWidth: the width of the note column in the appointment entry dialog,
	        in pixels (new in version 1.5)

%% languages
	LANGUAGES

	Language support in plan is simple. All messages are hardcoded in the
	program in English, but may be substituted before being displayed.
	Substitution is based on two files, both in the standard LIB directory
	(/usr/local/lib by default): plan.lang.english is the reference file,
	and plan.lang.L is the replacement file for language L. If a message in
	plan matches line N in plan.lang.english, and language L is selected
	with the Config->Language pulldown, line N of plan.lang.L is displayed.

	To create a new language L, create a file plan.lang.L in the same
	directory where plan.lang.english is located. Copy plan.lang.english to
	plan.lang.L and translate every line. All ISO-8859 characters are legal.
	Make sure that all %d and %s codes are present and in the correct order!
	Also doublecheck that plan.lang.english and plan.lang.L have the same
	number of lines; plan will reject the language otherwise. Send me a
	copy of the new language file, as well as all others that you had to
	change to ensure that all language files have the correct number of
	lines (see below). Send mail to thomas@bitrot.de .

	The plan.lang.english file must be sorted. All messages in plan must
	match a line in this file exactly. Lines may contain \n (newline) and
	\t (tab). When inserting a line into plan.lang.english after adding a
	message to the plan sources, insert it in the SAME line in all other
	plan.lang.*! If you do not know the translation, insert the English
	string followed by an asterisk (*), which makes it easy for me to find.
	If you see an asterisk * in a message and plan is less than six months
	old, please send me a translation.

	To create a help file for language L, copy the file plan_help to

%% cal_month
	CURRENT MONTH

	The month displayed in the month calendar below. It can be incremented
	and decremented to show the next or previous month. The inc/dec arrows
	will wrap to the next or previous year.

	The currently displayed month can also be changed by pressing on any
	month name in the year calendar (see Year pulldown).

	To return to the current month, choose Goto today in the View pulldown.
%% cal_year
	CURRENT YEAR

	The year that the month shown below is in.
%% cal
	MONTH CALENDAR VIEW

	Displays the current month, as specified by the month and year
	controls above. The format can be changed with the Config pulldown.
	Each day box contains a list of appointments on that day, with time
	and note string. Advance warnings that appear several days ahead of
	the actual appointment are shown with "W:" inserted before the note.

	The note string is grayed out if the appointment is suspended (the
	button to the left of that appointment in the appointment list is
	turned off). The appointment is not shown at all if it is "omitted"
	using the exception popup that can be installed in the appointment
	entry menu by pressing on the triangular warning sign button.

	If there are more appointments than will fit in the box (usually 3),
	only the first three are shown; the "Don't show today's past" option
	in the Options pulldown determines which three. If there are more
	appointments than will fit in the box, three dots are shown in the
	lower right corner of the box.

	If there is a full-line holiday on a day, the holiday name will use
	the first line. Appointments that have no time ("-" was entered in
	the day menu) come next, and finally the regular appointments.

	Todays's day box is highlighted green. When a day box is opened by
	pressing down on the lower half of it, a list of all appointments on
	that day is popped up.

	There is a small triangle to the left of every week row. Pressing one
	of the arrows pops up a week view that displays the week in a hour vs.
	day chart.

	The mouse cursor changes as it is moved the calendar:

	- over a triangle at the left edge, hand cursor:
	   *  Call a week calendar for that week

	- in the top part of a day box, hand cursor:
	   *  Zoom up to a day calendar for that day

	- in an appointment, four-sided arrow or pencil:
	   *  Press and release the left mouse button to edit all appointments
	       on that day. This will call a list popup that can be used to
	       add, change, and delete appointments.

	- in an appointment, four-sided arrow or pencil:
	   *  Press and hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse to
	       move the appointment to a different date. Note that if the
	       appointment is set to repeat on certain weekdays or days of the
	       month, moving the appointment changes the first trigger date but
	       the weekday or month day setting does not change, which means
	       that the calender may seem unchanged after moving.

	- in blank space, pencil:
	   *  Press and release the left mouse button to enter a new appointment
	       on the day under the cursor
#
# year calendar window
#
%% year
	YEAR CALENDAR VIEW

	Displays the current year, as specified by the year controls in the
	main month calendar, at the time the year menu was popped up. Later
	changes to the year control will not change the year menu.

	The year calendar basically consists of 12 small copies of the month
	calendar. The day boxes work the same way. The current day is green.
	Pressing on the bottom right corner of a day box (not the bottom half
	as in month day boxes; they are too small for that) opens it and shows
	the list of appointments on that day. Pressing the top left corner
	switches to day view. There are also week view call triangles to the
	left of every week row.

	Pressing on a month name will switch the month calendar to that month.

	The day boxes are too small for appointments and notes; if there is
	at least one appointment on that day (suspended or not), a small
	black square is shown in the day box. Appointment are ignored if they
	are "omitted" using the exception popup that can be installed in the
	appointment entry menu by pressing on the triangular warning sign
	button.

	Drag and drop is not supported in year views because no appointments
	that could be dragged are visible.

# Time adjustment popup
#
%% adj
	ADJUST TIME

	This menu serves two purposes. First, it allows to adjust the system
	clock, which on many systems or networks controlled by warring
	timelords may be off by a few minutes. By adding a constant to the
	system time, alarms can be made to trigger accurately.

	Second, determining the timezone a system is in is a black art. There
	are various incompatible TZ formats, unavailable or nonstandard
	system calls, and Daylight Saving starting and ending dates that
	have not been specified correctly by the system administrator. This
	menu allows users to specify the regular timezone relative to GMT
	(Greenwich Mean Time, or UTC). In addition, one hour can be added
	while Daylight Saving Time (DST) is in effect.

	DST can be either be taken from the system time, turned on or off
	manually, or switched automatically from a begin and end day. These
	days change every year, and can be entered with this menu. They are
	entered as Julian dates (day numbers relative to January 1 in the
	range 1..366). Julian dates can be determined with the Julian Dates
	option in Config.

	The "use system time" choice is available only on certain systems,
	and is not tested well. Unfortunately this isn't as portable as it
	should be. If you can contribute corrections or ports to new platforms,
	please implement them in time.c, function guess_tzone, near line 238,
	and send me the result (thomas@bitrot.de). This is EXPERIMENTAL!

	Week number 1 is the first full week of the year means that the
	first week in January is defined to be week number 1 only if all
	seven days of that week fall in the current year. Alternatively,
	the first week can be defined to be the first week whose Thursday
	falls into the new year. The latter flag takes priority over the
	former. If both flags are off, any partial week is counted as week
	number 1.

	This menu only affects your plan and its daemon, pland. The system
	clock is not affected, and all programs other than your own plan
	program will still believe in the official network time.
%% adj_time
	ADJUST SYSTEM CLOCK

	Enter a system clock correction constant here. For example, if your
	system clock is fast by two minutes and 20 seconds, enter "-0:02:20".
	If your system clock is slow, enter a positive time.

	The correction applies only to plan and the plan daemon that waits
	for alarms. The system clock and other programs are not affected.
%% adj_zone
	TIMEZONE

	At startup, the timezone is determined automatically. This may give
	incorrect results on some system, especially if the system timezone
	files are not configured properly. With the Timezone field, the
	timezone can be set in hours:minutes relative to Greenwich Mean Time
	(GMT or UTC). To revert to the system defaults, press the Guess
	button.

	While Daylight Saving Time is in effect, another hour is added to
	the timezone.
%% adj_dst
	DAYLIGHT SAVING

	Many countries switch the time one hour forward in the summer. This
	is normally done automatically by the system, but requires the system
	administrator to change the timezone start and end dates every year.
	If this configuration does not agree with reality, this menu allows
	plan users to override it.

	Daylight Saving can either be turned on permanently (in the summer),
	turned off permanently (in the winter, or if your country does not
	have Daylight Saving time), or turned on on a begin date and and end
	date. The begin and end dates must be specifies as Julian dates; use
	Julian Dates in Config to find out the numbers. Press the Guess button
	to return to system defaults.

	Daylight Saving is turned on and off at 2:00 in the morning on the
	begin and end days, respectively, unless overridden by system files.
	See "man timezone" for details.
%% adj_guess
	GUESS TIMEZONE AND DST

	Use system defaults for the timezone and Daylight Saving begin and
	end dates. This function is of limited use because it depends on a
	certain format of the $TZ environment variable, which is frequently
	undefined or contains a description in a format not understood by
	plan.

	Note that plan does NOT attempt to use standard Unix functions for
	guessing the time zone. There are too many exotic systems out there
	for this to work reliably. Version 1.0 of plan attempted this, which
	turned into a user support nightmare. This is not really satisfactory
	for plan users, but very convenient and time-saving for the plan
	author (me) who gets loads of email about plan anyway. Sorry.

# Alarm Options popup
#
%% opt
	ALARM OPTIONS

	An appointment can trigger up to three times: at the specified alarm
	time, and at the advance-warning times that can be entered in the
	appointment list menu. For every type of trigger, the action taken
	can be specified with this menu:

	1. The green, yellow, or red window pops up at the trigger time. It
	   contains the appointment's message or note text. The window position
	   is randomized.

	2. Mail is sent, using the "Mailer" command string. The string "%s"
	   in the mailer command is replaced with an appropriate subject string.
	   The appointment's message or note text is used as the body of the mail.

	3. A program is executed. Playaiff or something else that makes
	   noises is a good choice. This is independent of the appointment's
	   script, which is always executed (at the alarm time only, not at
	   warning time). If the command string contains %s, it is replaced
	   with the appointment's note string (last column in appointment
	   entry dialog).

	The daemon's PATH environment variable is used to locate the mailer
	and the programs. Defaults are supplied if there is no PATH. In all
	cases, the umask is set to 077.
%% opt_early
	EARLY WARNING

	This specification is used for early-warning triggers.
%% opt_early_w
	GREEN WINDOW

	The daemon pops up a green window when the early-warning time is
	reached. The window contains the appointment's message or note text.
%% opt_early_m
	EARLY WARNING MAIL

	Mail is sent when the early-warning time is reached. The Mailer
	button at the bottom specifies the program to use; "%s" is replaced
	with an appropriate subject string.
%% opt_early_x
	EARLY WARNING PROGRAM

	The program specified in the text area on the left is executed when
	the early-warning time is reached. If the command string contains %s,
	it is replaced with the appointment's note string (last column in
	appointment entry dialog).
%% opt_late
	LATE WARNING

	This specification is used for late-warning triggers.
%% opt_late_w
	YELLOW WINDOW

	The daemon pops up a yellow window when the late-warning time is
	reached. The window contains the appointment's message or note text.
%% opt_late_m
	LATE WARNING MAIL

	Mail is sent when the late-warning time is reached. The Mailer
	button at the bottom specifies the program to use; "%s" is replaced
	with an appropriate subject string.
%% opt_late_x
	LATE WARNING PROGRAM

	The program specified in the text area on the left is executed when
	the late-warning time is reached. If the command string contains %s,
	it is replaced with the appointment's note string (last column in
	appointment entry dialog).
%% opt_alarm
	ALARM

	This specification is used for main alarm triggers.
%% opt_alarm_w
	RED WINDOW

	The daemon pops up a red window when the main alarm time is reached.
	The window contains the appointment's message or note text.
%% opt_alarm_m
	ALARM MAIL

	Mail is sent when the main alarm time is reached. The Mailer button
	at the bottom specifies the program to use; "%s" is replaced with
	an appropriate subject string.
%% opt_alarm_x
	ALARM PROGRAM

	The program specified in the text area on the left is executed when
	the main alarm time is reached. If the command string contains %s,
	it is replaced with the appointment's note string (last column in
	appointment entry dialog).
%% opt_mailer
	MAILER

	Specifies the program to use to send mail. Mail is sent when one of
	the "Send mail" buttons above is enabled. In the mailer string, "%s"
	is replaced with an appropriate subject string, containing the
	reason, date, and truncated note or message text.

	The default is "Mail -s %s <username>".
%% opt_timeout
	TIMEOUT

	In this field, a time can be entered. If this field is blank, alarms
	popped up by the pland daemon when the appointment's warning or alarm
	time is reached will stay on the screen forever, until the Dismiss
	button in the popup is pressed.

	A window lifetime can be entered as hours:minutes. A window popped
	up after this change will disappear by itself after the specified time.
%% opt_done
	DONE

	Remove the Alarm Options popup.

# calendar view config popup
#
%% calconfig
	CONFIGURATION

	All configuration data is saved in the ~/.dayplan file. The date and
	time format is specified with this menu, the program does not use
	X11R5 or Unix locale information. The menu is split in three parts:


	GLOBAL OPTIONS:

	Use main window for all views -- show all view modes (day, week,
	  month, year, year overview) in the main window instead of popping
	  up a separate window for each view.

	Week begins with Sunday -- print Sunday in the first column, as in
	  US calendars, rather than in the last column.

	Month/Day/Year date format -- print dates in month/day/year format,
	  rather than in day.month.year format.

	12 hour am/pm time format -- print all times in US am/pm format,
	  rather than in the European 24-hour format.

	Auto delete past entries -- automatically remove all expired
	  appointments before today's date.


	MONTH VIEW OPTIONS:

	Show Julian dates -- print the day number in each month day box,
	  beginning with 1 on January 1.

	Show week numbers -- print the week number in each leftmost month day
	  box, in parentheses. The next option defines what kind of week number.

	GPS week numbers -- week numbers, if enabled, are shown in GPS (Global
	  Positioning System) format, in square brackets. GPS weeks are defined
	  in the range 0..1023 only.

	First week is full week -- normally, week number 1 in a year is the
	  the first partial week of the year. In full-week mode, the first
	  week is the first week with all seven days in the year.

	First week is first week with Thursday -- another way to define the
	  first week: the first week is the first whose Thursday falls into
	  the new year. This flag has priority over the previous flag.

	Colored background for other files -- if enabled, the note text that
	  appears in the day boxes in the month view has the background color
	  chosen in the "Group" column in this menu for this user, provided the
	  "Month" mode button is also on. This is useful for classifying
	  appointments quickly, but tends to make the month calendar look gaudy.
	  Bars in the week view always use the group color as background color.

	Don't show today's past -- in today's daybox (shaded green), skip
	  all entries that are in the past, and only show the next three
	  future entry notes.


	DAY AND WEEK VIEW OPTIONS:

	These modes are used for both the day view and the week view, which
	are in many ways similar.

	The top text button allows configuring the number of days shown in
	the week view. Minimum is 1, maximum is 28, and the default is 7.

	The week view shows bars that represent appointments. The horizontal
	position and length of the bar represents its trigger time and length.
	The chart is clipped at the left and right edges at 8:00 and 20:00 by
	default. These defaults can be changed with this popup.

	Press on the text buttons to get a cursor, and enter the hour. Only
	the hour can be entered, minutes are ignored. To set the end time to
	midnight, both 0 and 24 are accepted.

	If advance-warning times are enabled, show appointments' warning
	periods as gray extensions at the left end of appointment bars.

	If file names are enabled, the name of the appointment file are
	displayed in the week menu is displayed in or next to the users's bars
	in the week view. For adding files, such as appointments of other users
	on the network, see the help for the File->File list popup.

	Normally, entries without time ("-" in the time column in the entry
	menu) are shown as a small triangle at the left edge of a week view
	line. If the large-bar mode is enabled, they appear as a full line.
%% global_flags
	GLOBAL OPTIONS

	Use main window for all views -- show all view modes (day, week,
	  month, year, year overview) in the main window instead of popping
	  up a separate window for each view.

	Week begins with Sunday -- print Sunday in the first column, as in
	  US calendars, rather than in the last column.

	Month/Day/Year date format -- print dates in month/day/year format,
	  rather than in day.month.year format.

	12 hour am/pm time format -- print all times in US am/pm format,
	  rather than in the European 24-hour format.

	Auto delete past entries -- automatically remove all expired
	  appointments before today's date.

	Run netplan scripts -- appointments with shell scripts that were read
	  from a netplan server are not normally executed because that makes
	  it easy for others to execute programs under your user ID, which is
	  a serious security risk that is not acceptable in most commercial
	  environments. However, on your home system you may not care and let
	  the daemon execute such scripts by enabling this flag. You have been
	  warned!

	Only owner can write files -- if enabled (the default), you will not
	  be able to change appointments from other files even if you have write
	  permission. You need to be the owner too. This effectively ensures
	  that for each file, there is only one person who can write it, so
	  conflicts cannot happen. Turn this off at your own risk... If all
	  files are read from servers and not from disk paths, this mode has
	  no purpose and is grayed out.
%% month_flags
	MONTH VIEW OPTIONS

	Show Julian dates -- print the day number in each month day box,
	  beginning with 1 on January 1.

	Show week numbers -- print the week number in each leftmost month day
	  box, in parentheses. The next option defines what the first week of
	  a year is.

	First week is full week -- normally, week number 1 in a year is the
	  the first partial week of the year. In full-week mode, the first
	  week is the first week with all seven days in the year.

	Colored background for other files -- if enabled, the note text that
	  appears in the day boxes in the month view has the background color
	  chosen in the "Group" column in this menu for this file, provided the
	  "Month" mode button is also on. This is useful for classifying
	  appointments quickly, but tends to make the month calendar look gaudy.
	  Bars in the week view always use the group color as background color.

	Don't show today's past -- in today's daybox (shaded green), skip
	  all entries that are in the past, and only show the next three
	  future entry notes.

	If advance-warning times are enabled, show appointments' warning
	periods as gray extensions at the left end of appointment bars.

	If file names are enabled, the name of a file whose appointments are
	displayed in the week menu is displayed in or next to the file's bars
	in the week view. For adding other appointment files in the week menu,
	see the help for File list in the File pulldown.

	Normally, entries without time ("-" in the time column in the entry
	menu) are shown as a small triangle at the left edge of a week view

	one blank row at the bottom. The blank row is used for adding new
	appointments.

	The first three wide columns are for entering date, time, and length
	of the appointment numerically. The narrow columns that follow install
	menus that specify additional information; and the wide last column
	contains a note that is displayed in the month and year calendars' day
	boxes.

	The small button to the left of each row, if turned off, suspends
	that appointment. It will remain in the database, will be printed
	grayed-out in the month calendar's day boxes, and will not trigger
	any alarms or warnings.

	For help on the individual columns, use Help "On Context". The buttons
	control automatic repetition, messages, and shell scripts. Also see the
	help message for Confirm.

	Note that a single '-' in the time column will remove the time in
	the month view's day box. This and more options are available in the
	exception popup, called by the button with the triangular sign. Use
	Help On Context on the respective columns for details.

	Also note that although 16 colors (dark and light versions of 8 hues)
	are available for groups, the group buttons (rightmost column) always
	use dark colors even if a light one was chosen in the File list menu.
%% day_enable
	ACTIVATE/SUSPEND BUTTONS

	If turned on (green), the appointment is alive and will trigger alarms
	as specified in the Alarm Options menu that can be accessed through
	the Config pulldown. (In SGI desktop mode, a checkmark is shown instead
	of a green box).

	If the button is turned off (gray), the appointment is suspended. It
	will remain in the database, will be printed grayed-out in the month
	calendar's day boxes and in the yov view chart, and will not trigger
	alarms. The small black dots in the year calendar day boxes are not
	affected.
%% day_user
	GROUP COLUMN

	If this button is blank, you own the appointment; it is stored either
	in ~/.dayplan or ~/.dayplan.priv (depending on the padlock). The
	appointment can be put into another file by pressing this button
	and selecting a file name from the popup. The list of files can be
	specified using the File list entry in the File pulldown in the main
	window. Users whose appointment file is not writable are not listed.
	If an appointment is moved to another file, it is recommended that
	the "Own only" mode at the bottom of the window is turned off, or the
	moved appointment will disappear from the list.

	Note that although 16 colors (dark and light versions of 8 hues) are
	available for groups, the group buttons always use dark colors even if
	a light one was chosen in the File list menu. This has technical
	reasons: plan tries to conserve color map entries by using dithering,
	which can't be done in a pushbutton.
%% day_date
	DATE COLUMN

	The trigger date. Dates can be entered as yovday Mon..Sun (or German
	Mo..So), as numeric date (mm/dd/yy or dd.mm.yy, depending on the
	Config pulldown), as commands such as "tomorrow" or "heute".
	Alternatively, +3 means today plus 3 days.

	Normally, appointments are added by starting with the time and using
	the date defaults supplied automatically. If a date is changed, the
	end date changes by the same amount. In other words, multi-day
	appointments do not change length when they are moved.

	The up/down arrows move the appointment by one day, or by one week if
	the Shift key is held down.
%% day_enddate
	END DATE COLUMN

	Appointments can repeat for several days until (and including) the
	date specified with this field. This is useful for extended events
	such as vacations. In the year overview (see View pulldown), multi-day
	appointments are displayed as bars that extend over multiple days.

	The format of the last day field is the same as for the date field
	above: dates can be entered as yovday Mon..Sun (or German Mo..So), as
	numeric date (mm/dd/yy or dd.mm.yy, depending on the Config pulldown),
	as commands such as "tomorrow" or "heute". Alternatively, +3 means
	today plus 3 days.

	If the field is left empty, the appointment does not repeat daily.

	Using this field is equivalent to using the Repeat popup (called by
	the leftmost square option button below the Note field), which offers
	more complex repetition options, and entering "Repeat every [_1_]
	days" "Until (last day) [___]". The end date column is provided in
	the main appointment menu because daily repetition is used much more
	frequently than other types of repetition.

	The up/down arrows move the end date by one day, or by one week if
	the Shift key is held down.
%% day_time
	TIME COLUMN

	The trigger time, as hh:mm or hh:mm{a,p}, depending on the settings
	in the Config pulldown. The time can also be entered as hhmm.

	If a single minus "-" is entered, the alarm and its warnings will not
	trigger, and no time will be shown in the month calendar's day boxes.
	This is useful for birthdays and general reminders. In conjunction with
	repetition, it can also be used for vacations or other extended events.
	Holidays should be defined with the Holiday pulldown, the syntax there
	is much more flexible.

	Appointments with no time will always appear first in the day boxes,
	and will not be affected by the "Don't show today's past" option. In
	yov views, they appear as triangles pointing right at the left edge.

	The up/down arrows move the appointment by five minutes, or by one hour
	if the Shift key is held down.
%% day_length
	LENGTH COLUMN

	The length of the appointment. This information is used for the yov
	view, it controls the length of the bar that represents the appointment.
	There is no collision checking, appointments can freely overlap with
	no warning.

	If the length begins with a minus '-', the remaining string is
	interpreted as an end time. "-12:30" means until 12:30.

	The Length column is disabled if there is no time (i.e., if the time
	column displays "-").

	The up/down arrows change the length by five minutes, or by one hour if
	the Shift key is held down.
%% day_recycle
	RECYCLE COLUMN

	This button controls automatic repetition of an appointment on certain
	days. If the recycle symbol is shown in the button, the appointment
	repeats. Repeating appointments are shown in every day box in all views
	they have triggered on or will trigger on, between the entered date and
	the Until date if entered. If the Auto Delete Past Entries in the
	Config pulldown is enabled, past trigger dates are not shown.

	Pressing the recycle button pops up the recycle menu, which allows
	entry of the repetition information (on certain yovdays, on certain
	month days, every n days, until a specified expiry date).
%% day_advance
	ADVANCE WARNING COLUMN, MINUTES

	This button controls advance warnings. An appointment can have up to
	three trigger times: the "alarm time", which triggers at the time
	specified in the time column, an early warning, and a late warning.
	By default, only the alarm time is enabled. The syntax is

	      <early>[,<late>[,-]]

	Early and late times are in minutes. All parts are separated by commas
	or blanks. The optional "-" at the end turns off the main alarm time,
	so only warnings will trigger, if specified. Examples are "5" (one
	warning 5 minutes in advance, and the main alarm), "10,45" (two
	warnings and the main alarm), "15,-" (one warning, no alarm). If the
	main alarm time is turned off, scripts specified with the "%" button
	will still be run; but operations specified with the Alarm Options
	(windows, mail, or commands) won't. Entering a '=' uses the default
	warning times, which are updated with every numeric entry.

	The actions taken when the alarm and the warnings trigger is
	controlled by the "Alarm Options" menu in the Config pulldown of the
	main month calendar window. Options include color-coded windows,
	mail, and Unix commands.

	The Advance Warning column is disabled if there is no time (i.e., if
	the time column displays "-").

	The up/down arrows move the late warning time by five minutes. If the
	Shift key is held down, the early warning time is moved instead. It
	does not matter which one is actually earlier, except that the earlier
	time pops up a green dialog at warning time, and the later pops up a
	yellow one (unless otherwise configured with Config->Alarm).
%% day_advdays
	ADVANCE WARNING COLUMN, DAYS

	This button controls advance warnings that appear several days ahead of
	the actual appointment. An appointment can have only one of these. The
	warning appears like the appointment itself in the various calendar
	views, usually with a gray background and/or marked with "W:" (month
	calendar) or "(warn)" (day calendar). The warning triggers only at the
	regular appointment time, not any specified number of minutes ahead,
	too.

	For repeating appointments, one warning is shown for every instance of
	the appointment, with one exception: if an appointment repeats daily,
	only one warning is shown the given number of days ahead of the first
	day of the appointment. Such appointments are best entered using the
	"end date" button below the "beg date" button.

	The up/down arrows move the number of days by one day. If the Shift key
	is held down, the number of days changes by one week.
%% day_message
	MESSAGE COLUMN

	This button allows a message to be attached to the appointment. Most
	of the time, the last column (note) suffices, but for longer texts
	messages can be used. A symbol is shown in the button if a message
	exists; pressing the button pops up a text entry menu.

	When the appointment triggers, the text is shown in the window that
	pops up (assuming that window hasn't been disabled with the Config
	pulldown's Alarm Options menu).
%% day_script
	SCRIPT COLUMN

	This button allows a shell script to be attached to the appointment.
	A symbol is shown in the button if a script exists; pressing the
	button pops up a text entry menu. When the alarm time triggers, the
	script will be executed by the daemon. Unlike attached messages,
	scripts will be ignored by advance-warning triggers. Pop up the help
	menu in the Script popup to get more information on how scripts are
	executed.

	The Script column is disabled if there is no time (i.e., if the time
	column displays "-"). Scripts read from files stored on a server are
	not executed for security reasons.
%% day_except
	EXCEPT COLUMN

	This button calls up a menu that allows specification of various
	special modes, such as exception dates where the appointment will
	not trigger, and exclusion flags that make it disappear from certain
	menus.
%% day_private
	LOCK COLUMN

	If pressed, the appointment is considered private. It is stored in
	a separate file ".dayplan.priv" that has no read or write permissions
	for other users. Specifically, locked appointments do not appear in
	other users' yov views even if they named you in their file lists.

	All appointments that are not locked will appear in other users' yov
	views if they ask for them. Other users that look up your appointments
	will not even be informed that you have locked appointments, although
	they may be able to determine that your .dayplan.priv file is not
	empty.

	plan uses the current umask for the permissions of the public ~/.dayplan
	file, and enforces rw------- permissions for the private ~/.dayplan.priv
	file. Make sure that your home directory has no write permissions for
	others, plan does not attempt to chmod it.
%% day_todo
	TODO COLUMN

	This symbol indicates a todo item. Todo appointments in the future stay
	where they were created, but todo items in the past are automatically
	moved forward to today's date. This is intended for reminders that
	should reappear daily after their time is reached, until the todo flag
	is turned off again.
%% day_note
	NOTE COLUMN

	This column allows entry of a short text that will appear in the
	month calendar's day box, and in the window that pops up at trigger
	times. Notes are convenient for short texts not exceeding 30
	characters or so (although there is no hard limit); for longer
	texts, use the message button.

	If there is no note, then the first line of the message text is
	displayed in the note column and in the day box. If there is no
	message either, the first script line is displayed (the second if
	the first begins with #!).

	Note strings beginning with '-' and '=' are NO LONGER SUPPORTED,
	use the exception menu (button with triangular warning sign) to enter
	exclusion flags. plan will convert old notes when reading .dayplan
	files to the new method.
%% day_confirm
	CONFIRM

	While an appointment is entered, it is not stored in the database.
	It is stored only when the Return key is pressed on the last column,
	or when the Confirm button is pressed.  This prevents the new
	appointment from disappearing because the list is resorted, or
	because it does not even belong in this list.

	Confirm is rarely used. To enter an appointment, simply press and
	enter the time, length, and note. Pressing Return in the Note column
	has the same effect as Confirm. The Done button, and pressing anywhere
	in another row, implies Confirm.
%% day_undo
	UNDO

	While entering an appointment, but before Confirming (or pressing
	Return on the Note column or editing another appointment, which also
	confirms), all changes can be discarded by pressing Undo. This prevents
	the changes from being written to the database.
%% day_dup
	DUPLICATE

	To duplicate an appointment, press on any text column (date, time,
	length, or note), then press the dup button. The appointment, and
	all the information attached to it (such as message and script)
	are duplicated. The duplicated appointment can then be changed.
%% day_del
	DELETE

	To delete an appointment, press on any text column (date, time,
	length, or note), then press Delete. It is not possible to undo
	deletions.
%% day_quit
	DONE

	Destroy the appointment list menu. This has the side effect of
	confirming the currently entered appointment, if any; use Delete
	or Undo first to cancel the changes.
%% day_own
	OWN ONLY

	If enabled, only your own appointments (from the ~/.dayplan and
	~/.dayplan.priv files) are shown. If disabled, all appointments,
	including those from other files (see File->File list), are shown.
%% day_pin
	PIN

	Normally, an appointment list menu is re-used whenever another day
	box is pressed or the Search pulldown is used. If the Pin flag is
	turned on (is red), the menu will remain unchanged and a new
	appointment list is created when one is needed.

	Whenever the program needs an appointment list popup, it scans
	through all the existing menus in the order they were created, and
	kidnaps the first that has either been popped down (with its Done
	button), or that is not pinned.

# week view menu
#
%% week
	WEEK CALENDAR

	The week view shows appointments on a hour vs. day chart. Appointments
	are represented by horizontal bars, labeled by their note string
	which is centered in the bar if it fits, or shown to the right of the
	bar if not. The bar itself can optionally show the advance-warning
	periods as gray shadows; this is controlled by the Show Warnings item
	in the Config pulldown. The width of the chart (the begin and end hour)
	can be specified by choosing Week View Range from the Config pulldown.

	Suspended appointments, and advance warnings that appear several days
	ahead of the actual appointment,are shown in the same gray color that
	is used for advance warnings. If the Show Users toggle in the Configure
	week view popup in the Config pulldown is on, the file name is also
	shown in parentheses.

	A bar is color-coded: blue bars are the user's own appointments. Other
	files can also be shown with different colors; appointments from files
	should appear can be specified by choosing File list from the File
	pulldown. Other users' private appointments are not shown; appointments
	are private if the user pressed the Lock button in the appointment
	entry/edit menu in the entry's row. (To get the entry/edit menu, press
	in any day box in the month or year menus, or press the Edit button in
	the week menu. The lock button's icon is a little padlock.)

	The mouse cursor changes as it is moved the calendar:

	- over a date at the left edge, hand cursor:
	   *  Zoom up to a day calendar for that day

	- in an appointment, four-sided arrow or pencil or right-bar arrow:
	   *  Press and release the left mouse button to edit the appointment.
	       This will call a list popup that can be used to add, change, and
	       delete appointments.

	- in an appointment, four-sided arrow or pencil:
	   *  Press and hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse to
	       move the appointment to a different date or time. Note that if
	       the appointment is set to repeat on certain weekdays or days of
	       the month, moving the appointment changes the first trigger date
	       but the weekday or month day setting does not change, which
	       means that the calender may seem unchanged after moving.

	- in an appointment, right-bar arrow:
	   *  Press and hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse to
	       move the length of the appointment to a different time.

	- in blank space, pencil:

%% day
	DAY CALENDAR VIEW

	The week view shows appointments on a hour vs. day chart, similar to
	the week view but with time being the vertical axis. Appointments
	are represented by vertical bars, labeled with time, end time, file
	name if applicable, and note string. Advance warnings that appear
	several days ahead of the actual appointment are listed with "(warn)"
	inserted after the time range, and the appointment background color is
	gray. If the text is wider than the bar, it is word-wrapped until
	vertical space in the bar runs out. To conserve space, words are split
	in the middle if word wrapping would leave too much blank space.

	The bar can optionally show the advance-warning periods as gray
	shadows; this is controlled by the Show Warnings item in the Calendar
	Views choice of the Config pulldown. The width of the chart (the begin
	and end hour) can be specified by choosing Week View Range from the
	same dialog. These and other configurations are shared with the week
	view. Suspended appointments are shown in the same gray color that is
	used for advance warnings.

	A bar is color-coded: blue bars are the user's own appointments. Other
	files can also be shown with different colors; appointments from files
	should appear can be specified by choosing File list from the File
	pulldown. Other users' private appointments are not shown; appointments
	are private if the user pressed the Lock button in the appointment
	entry/edit menu in the entry's row. (To get the entry/edit menu, press

# year overview menu
#
%% yov
	YEAR OVERVIEW

	The year overview shows appointments on a 365-day chart. This is
	intended for multi-day appointments such as vacations. By default,
	only multi-day appointments are shown, defined as those that have
	a "repeat every [1] days" and "repeat until [...]" set in the
	repetition menu (reachable from the small circular recycle icon in
	the appointment entry menu - press any day box in the month view
	to install it).

	Appointments are represented by horizontal bars, labeled by their
	note string which is centered in the bar if it fits, or shown to the
	right of the bar if not. Suspended appointments, and advance warnings
	that appear several days ahead of the actual appointment, are shown in
	a gray color. Bars always cover entire days.

	A bar is color-coded: blue bars are the user's own appointments. Other
	files can also be shown with different colors; appointments from files
	should appear can be specified by choosing File list from the File
	pulldown. Other users' private appointments are not shown; appointments
	are private if the user pressed the Lock button in the appointment
	entry/edit menu in the entry's row. (To get the entry/edit menu, press
	in any day box in the month or year menus, or press the Edit button in
	the year overview menu. The lock button's icon is a little padlock.)

	Pressing on any bar gives the appointment time, the file name in
	parentheses unless it is one of the user's own appointments, and the
	note text. Double-clicking a bar pops up an appointment edit menu that
	contains one entry (but can also be used to input new appointments).

	The mouse cursor changes as it is moved the calendar:

	- in an appointment, four-sided arrow or pencil or right-bar arrow:
	   *  Press and release the left mouse button to edit the appointment.
	       This will call a list popup that can be used to add, change, and
	       delete appointments.

	- in an appointment, four-sided arrow or pencil:
	   *  Press and hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse to
	       move the appointment to a different date. Note that if the
	       appointment is set to repeat on certain weekdays or days of the
	       month, moving the appointment changes the first trigger date but
	       the weekday or month day setting does not change, which means
	       that the calender may seem unchanged after moving.

	- in an appointment, right-bar arrow:
	   *  Press and hold down the left mouse button and move the mouse to
	       move the end date of the appointment to a different date. This
	       creates a multi-day appointment.

	- in blank space, pencil:
	   *  Press and release the left mouse button to enter a new appointment
	       on the day under the cursor

	DISPLAY MODE

	These buttons select which appointments are shown in the year overview.
	You can either choose the default (as specified in the corresponding
	column in the Config->Group/file dialog), or all files, or your own
	only, or a specific group. The "Other" button lets you choose which
	specific group.

	Groups are files or users specified with the File->File list popup.
	A common example is to create a new group file named "vacation" that
	contains all vacations, and check its "YrOv" check button to make it
	appear when the year overview is brought up in "Display: <> Default"
	mode.
%% yov_single
	SINGLE-DAY APPOINTMENTS

	If this mode is checked, the year overview also shows all single-day
	appointments. These are appointments that do not repeat or repeat with
	a period of more than one day. Appointments that repeat daily but whose
	repeat-until date is on the first day do not aount as "single-day".

	FILE LIST

	The file list allows selection of files that should appear in the
	various views. Any number of files can be entered. To distinguish
	files, they can be color-coded. Eight colors are available; several
	files can share the same color. The first row of the file list
	specifies the default file for the user and cannot be deleted; all
	others are extra files (either default files of other users or
	other lists of appointment, such as vacation or room-reservation
	lists).

	If a file is recognized as an xmbase-grok database form, it is read
	and converted to an appointment list according to the conversion
	instructions specified in the database. See Help->Database access
	for details.

	To specify another file, press on the top empty button in the Name
	column, and enter a name. Names should contains only decimal digits,
	letters a-z and A-Z, and underscores. plan first checks whether the
	name is the name of a user on the system and suggests that user's home
	directory as default path. It also chooses a likely netplan server
	host, and decides whether to default to file or server mode. These
	choices can be changed by pressing on the corresponding column to the
	right of the name. Names must be unique. If a non-unique name is found
	during startup, 'x' is appended; in the file list popup duplicate names
	are rejected.

	The small buttons on the left enable or disable files in the month view,
	week view, and year overview, respectively; disabled files do not appear
	in the view. The color buttons cycle through the eight available colors
	every time the color button is pressed.

	Files can either be specified by path or by netplan server host:
	
	- If the "Server" mode button is off, the file is read directly from
	   the given path. If the path is a directory, plan appends ".dayplan";
	   this is useful for reading other users' default files in their home
	   directories.

	   vCalendar file (usually ending in .ics) can be specified here. Such
	   files are written by Apple iCal, Zimbra, Google Calendar, Lotus, and
	   many others. Only basic information is read; in particular, repeat
	   information is ignored. vCalendar entries are always read-only and
	   can not be edited and written back (this would lose data).

	   Files read directly SHOULD NOT be shared because if there are
	   multiple plans running that write to the same file, every change
	   can get lost when another plan also makes a change. This is similar
	   to editing a text file simultaneously with two text editors. Also,
	   plan does not notice when somebody else changes a direct file; it
	   does not automatically update its views.

	- If the "Server" mode button is on, the file is read from the netplan
	   IP daemon running on the specified server host. It is recommended
	   that only one netplan host exists. Make sure the "netplan" program
	   is running on that host.

	   Files read from a server can be shared. The server broadcasts all
	   changes to appointments to all connected plan's, which will update
	   their views automatically. Servers also allow plan to detect when
	   two plan users simultaneously attempt to edit the same appointment,
	   and tell one of the two to wait until the first edit is finished.

	   Scripts attached to appointments in files read from a server are not
	   executed for security reasons. Keep your scripts in non-server files.

	WARNING - avoid toggling back and forth between Server and non-Server
	mode because you may end up with a local file and a server file that
	do not agree with each other.

	Entries can be deleted by pressing on the row to be deleted, and then
	pressing the Delete button. The Sort button sorts first by color and
	then by file name.

	If the "Show group color" mode in the "Config->Calendar views" dialog
	is enabled, the note text that appears in the day boxes in the month
	view has the background color chosen in the "Group" column in this menu
	for this user. Press the right mouse button for a color popup.

	The netplan server supports primitive access control to restrict read
	and/or write access to certain users, groups, and/or client hosts.
	Refer to the netplan(4) manpage for details.
%% user_delete
	DELETE FILE

	To delete a file, first press on any button in the file's row, then
	press the Delete button. The row disappears, and all rows below move
	one row up. If Delete is pressed again, the next file is deleted; it
	is displayed in the row of the previously deleted file.

	The file on disk and/or on the netplan server is not deleted, only
	the reference disappears and your plan will no longer display the
	name. To restore the file, you need to re-enter it. Make sure to use
	the same Server mode as before, or plan will not find the file or
	start a new one, which can lead to the original data being overwritten.
%% user_sort
	SORT FILES

	Files are sorted first by color and then alphanumerically by name.
%% user_done
	DONE

	Remove the file menu, re-read all files, and redraw all views. If a
	connection to a server specified in the last column could not be made,
	an error dialog is popped up and the file list dialog is not removed.

	If this happens, do not temporarily avoid the problem by turning off
	server mode with the intent to go back to server mode later; plan will
	start a new file and you might end up with two versions of the same
	data. Check the server host name and make sure there is a "netplan"
	program running on the server host. If there isn't, you can start one
	by typing "/usr/local/lib/netplan" at a shell prompt on the server host.
%% user_enable
	ENABLE COLUMN

	There are three enable buttons. If depressed (the default), the left
	enables the appointments in the file in the month view, the next
	enables it in the week view, and the third enables it in "Default"
	year overviews. The fourth button specifies whether appointments in
	the file trigger alarms for you (pops up warning windows etc.).
%% user_color
	GROUP COLUMN

	This button selects the color that will be used for the appointments
	in the file for bars in the week view, and the background color under
	the appointments in the month view. There are eight colors available.
	Multiple files can have the same color; these files will be grouped by
	the Sort button. To find out which file owns a bar in the week view or
	year overview, press on the bar; the name will be shown in parentheses.

	You cannot change the color of your own appointments (which are stored
	in the file specified in the top row).
%% user_name
	NAME COLUMN

	The file names. To add a new file, press an empty name button and enter
	the new file name, and press Return. To add the appointments of another
	user, enter that user's login name as file name. Plan will then look up
	the user in /etc/passwd or in the NIS database (Yellow Pages), and
	determine the home directory. For non-user file names, a default file
	path is chosen.

	The login name must be entered exactly, which usually means one to
	eight lower-case letters. Do not enter the gecos (real) name.
%% user_home
	SERVER/PATH COLUMNS

	Files can either be specified by path or by netplan server host:
	
	- If the "Server" mode button is off, the file is read directly from
	   the given path. If the path is a directory, plan appends ".dayplan";
	   this is useful for reading other users' default files in their home
	   directories.

	   Files read directly SHOULD NOT be shared because if there are
	   multiple plan's running that write to the same file, every change
	   can get lost when another plan also makes a change. This is similar
	   to editing a text file simultaneously with two text editors. Also,
	   plan does not notice when somebody else changes a direct file; it
	   does not automatically update its views.

	- If the "Server" mode button is on, the file is read from the netplan
	   IP daemon running on the specified server host. It is recommended
	   that only one netplan host exists. Make sure the "netplan" program
	   is running on that host.

	   Files read from a server can be shared. The server broadcasts all
	   changes to appointments to all connected plan's, which will update
	   their views automatically. Servers also allow plan to detect when
	   two plan users simultaneously attempt to edit the same appointment,
	   and tell one of the two to wait until the first edit is finished.

	WARNING - avoid toggling back and forth between Server and non-Server
	mode because you may end up with a local file and a server file that
	do not agree with each other.

%% serv
	BROWSE SERVER

	This dialog lists all files available on the netplan server on a host,
	and select files from this list to be appended to your file list. To
	obtain a list, enter the name of a host where a netplan server runs in
	the pink text field near the top. The name of the local machine can be
	specified as "localhost".
	
	After pressing Return, the list of files on that host is displayed in
	the list below. Files can be added to your file list by double-clicking
	or by dragging with the left mouse button, or shift-left-clicking to
	specify ranges, or ctrl-left-clicking to toggle individual items and
	then pressing the Add button. (Double-clicking is a shortcut for a
	left-click followed by Add.)

	When finished, press Done to remove the dialog.

# recycle popup
#
%% cyc
	RECYCLE MENU

	Repeating appointments trigger more than once. The time does not
	change, the appointment triggers at the same time on every such date.
	It can not trigger on any day more than once.

	The appointment will repeat on any of the dates that satisfy at least
	one of the three conditions: on the specified weekdays, on the
	specified days of the month, and every n days after the initial date.

	The appointment will expire on the day specified with "Stop repeating
	on" if the mode button is green. The appointment may trigger for the
	last time on the date specified, if the other conditions are satisfied.
%% cyc_done
	DONE

	Remove the recycle popup.
%% cyc_last
	LAST DAY

	The appointment will trigger on this date for the last time (if the
	other conditions are satisfied). It will then expire, and will be
	deleted if the Auto-delete-past-entries in the Config menu has been
	turned on.

	The notation "+n" means that the appointment will repeat on the next
	n days; "+1" means today and tomorrow.

	The last-day is in effect only if the green mode button on the left
	is turned on (is green).
%% cyc_every
	EVERY N DAYS

	If the button on the left is on (green), the appointment will
	trigger every n days after the initial date. For example, if
	a 2 is entered, the appointment will repeat every other day.
%% cyc_weekdays
	WEEKDAYS

	The appointment will trigger on all the weekday specified. Weekdays
	can be restricted to certain weeks of the month.
%% cyc_days
	MONTH DAYS

	The appointment will trigger on every day of the month specified.
%% cyc_yearly
	YEARLY

	If turned on, the appointment will trigger on the same day every year.
%% msg
	MESSAGES AND SCRIPTS

	This menu is used for appointment messages and scripts. A message
	is a text that is printed in a window when the alarm or one of its
	warnings triggers, unless disabled.

	Scripts are executed by the daemon when the alarm time (not the
	warnings) trigger. The daemon forks and execs the script directly.
	The environment is passed on unchanged. The umask is set to 077.
	If the script is longer than the Unix pipe size (normally 10240
	bytes), the daemon forks off a separate process to feed the script,
	to avoid blocking the daemon.

	Scripts are run even if the text alarm was turned off with the
	advance-warning column.

	The text may contain special placeholders that begin with a '%' sign
	to insert appointment information when the alarm triggers:

	  %N    the short note text
	  %M    the message text
	  %S    the script text
	  %D    the final trigger date
	  %T    the final trigger time
	  %L    the length in hours:minutes
	  %F    the file the appointment is stored in, or "private"
	  %U    your login name
	  %%	a percent sign, '%'

	If a substituted string, such as the message text in case of %M,
	contains % codes, they are not expanded. Note that % codes in the
	short note text are also expanded. The calendar never expands %
	codes; this is done only when an alarm triggers and a notifier
	window is shown, a mail is sent, or a script is executed.
%% msg_done
	DONE

	Remove the message popup.
%% msg_delete
	DELETE

	Deletes the message or script, and removes the popup. The message
	or script symbol in the appointment list row disappears.
%% msg_clear
	CLEAR

	The text in the popup is cleared.
%% msg_text
	TEXT WINDOW

	Messages and scripts are entered here. To clear the text and start
	over, press the Clear button.
%% except
	EXCEPTIONS

	The exception dates at the top of this menu specify dates on which
	the appointment will not trigger (neither scripts nor alarms). Dates
	are specified in one of the text entry boxes in the usual formats:
	e.g., 24.12., 12/24, tomorrow, +14, mon. The Clear buttons delete
	an exception date. The Split buttons create a new fill-in appointment
	for the given exception date.

	There are flag buttons below the exception dates that specify in
	which calendar views (month, year, and week) the appointment should
	be omitted. It is often useful to omit things like lunch hour notices
	or cron-like jobs that would otherwise clutter up the calendars.
	These buttons replace the old notation in version 1.3.2 that omitted
	appointments whose note string begins with '-' or '='.

	The Reminder flag button, if enabled, turns off the time of the
	appointment. Neither scripts nor alarms will trigger in this mode,
	but the appointment stays in the calendar views (without a time
	display). In the month view, it looks much like a holiday string.
	This is equivalent to entering '-' in the time column in the entry
	menu.

	The appointment text color changes the color of the appointment text
	in the month view's day boxes. The default is pale blue; there are
	eight more. Some of them have very low contrast.

	All the choices here become effective and appear in the calendars when
	both the exception menu and the appointment entry menu are removed by
	pressing Done in each menu.
%% exc_clear
	CLEAR DATE

	The exception dates at the top of this menu specify dates on which
	the appointment will not trigger (neither scripts nor alarms). Dates
	are specified in one of the text entry boxes in the usual formats:
	e.g., 24.12., 12/24, tomorrow, +14, mon. The Clear buttons delete
	an exception date (but leave fill-in appointments that were created
	with the Split button intact).
%% exc_split
	SPLIT APPOINTMENT

	This function creates a new appointment that is identical to the one
	for which the exception date to the right was entered, except for its
	date (which matches the exception date) and its repetition information
	(which is cleared). The resulting appointment "fills in" the hole left
	by the exception date.

	The new appointment is shown at the end of the list menu and can now
	be edited. For example, if a repeating appointment occurs every Monday
	at 10:00 except on January 2nd, where it is at 11:00, enter January
	2nd as exception date, press split, and change the last time in the
	list from 10:00 to 11:00.

	Multiple exceptions require multiple fill-in appointments. Without a
	fill-in appointment created by Split, the appointment is simply
	ignored on the exception date. If an exception date is first split
	and then cleared, the split appointment is not deleted. Conversely,
	exception dates can be split off multiple times.
%% exc_flags
	FLAGS

	There are flag buttons below the exception dates that specify in
	which calendar views (month, year, and week) the appointment should
	be omitted. It is often useful to omit things like lunch hour notices
	or cron-like jobs that would otherwise clutter up the calendars.
	These buttons replace the old notation in version 1.3.2 that omitted
	appointments whose note string begins with '-' or '='.

	The Reminder flag button, if enabled, turns off the time of the
	appointment. Neither scripts nor alarms will trigger in this mode,
	but the appointment stays in the calendar views (without a time
	display). In the month view, it looks much like a holiday string.
	This is equivalent to entering '-' in the time column in the entry
	menu.
%% exc_acolor
	APPOINTMENT COLOR

	The appointment text color changes the color of the appointment text
	in the month view's day boxes. The default is pale blue; there are
	eight more. Some of them have very low contrast.
%% exc_done
	DONE

	Remove the exception popup menu. The changes are displayed in the
	calendar views when the Done button in the appointment entry menu
	is also pressed.
%% holiday_done
	DONE

	Write the definitions back to the ~/.holiday file and re-parse it.
%% holiday_cancel
	CANCEL

	Discard all changes to the holiday list made since the holiday menu
	was popped up, go back to the previous holiday list, and remove the
	holiday popup. Use this button if you messed up.
%% holiday
	HOLIDAYS

	Holidays are annotations of certain day boxes in the month and year
	calendars. A holiday can define a text that can appear under the day
	number (default) or next to the day number (small, because there is
	less space for text there). Both the color of holiday name and the day
	number can be set. For each day, only one holiday plus one "small"
	holiday can be defined. Earlier definitions override later ones.

	You don't need to define a holiday if you want an entry with no time
	field; just define a normal appointment with "-" in the time column.
	There is no limit on the number of those.

	In addition to the user's holiday list, there may be a system-wide
	holiday file in the LIB directory (LIB is from the Makefile, usually
	/usr/local/bin). System-wide holidays cannot be edited from within plan.
	User holidays override system-wide holidays on the same day.

	The holiday format is: (optional parts are in [square brackets],
	nonterminals are in CAPS, alternatives are separated by |, everything
	must be entered in lower case)

	   [small]  [STRINGCOLOR]  "name"  [DAYNUMBERCOLOR]
	                                          on  [DATE]  [OFFSET]  [LENGTH]

	(Although shown here on two lines, every holiday definition must be
	entered on a single line.)

	Available colors are black, red, green, yellow, blue, magenta, cyan,
	white, and weekend (the same color used for Saturday and Sunday).
	The string color is used for the name when printed into a day box; the
	day number color is used to alter the color of the day number (1..31)
	of the day box the holiday falls on. This can be used to promote a day
	to an official holiday by using the "weekend" color. If there is a day
	number color specified, but no string color, the string color is set to
	the day number color. The name can be empty, but the quotes must be
	present. There are several formats for DATE:

	   DAY . MONTH [ . YEAR]
	   MONTH / DAY [ / YEAR]
	   DAY   MONTHNAME   [YEAR]
	   MONTHNAME   DAY   [YEAR]
	   [every   NTH]   WEEKDAY   [in   MONTH]
	   WEEKDAY   before   LIT_DATE
	   WEEKDAY   after   LIT_DATE
	   easter
	   pascha

	DAY, MONTH, YEAR, NTH, and NUMBER can be C expressions; in
	dates, they must be parenthesized.  The special values any and last are
	also available. Any valid DATE description specifying a single day may
	be converted to a NUMBER by enclosing it in square brackets [].
	MONTHNAME is january, february, etc;  WEEKDAY is monday, tuesday,
	etc.  NTH can alternatively be first, second, ..., fifth, last. The
	words on, every, day, and days are syntactic sugar without meaning.
	Easter is predefined because its definition is rather complicated.
	LIT_DATE stands for one of the first two alternatives, DAY.MONTH[.YEAR]
	or MONTH/DAY[/YEAR]. Pascha is the Christian Orthodox Easter.

	The OFFSET after DATE is "[plus | minus   NUMBER   days", and
	the LENGTH after that is "length   NUMBER   days". Offsets are
	useful for holidays relative to Easter, and lengths are useful for trade
	shows and vacations. Always define vacations last in the list so regular
	holidays override them.

	Dates can be converted to numbers by enclosing them in square brackets.
	For example, the number of days between Easter and May 1 can be
	computed with ([may 1] - [easter]). As with C expressions, bracketed
	expressions must be parenthesized.

	If you have /lib/cpp (see CPP_PATH in the Makefile), you can use #include
	statements to include additional external holiday files. The external files
	cannot be edited interactively with plan; use an editor.

	Examples:
	   small  "Easter"  weekend  on  easter
	   small  "Surprise"  blue  on  last  sunday  in  april  plus  1  day
	   small  green  "xmas"  weekend  on  12/25
	   ""  weekend  on  july  4
	   magenta  "Payday"  on  any/last
	   green  "Vacation"  on  20.6.93  length  28  days
	   #include "/usr/local/lib/vacations"

	Restrictions: plus, minus, and length may not cross over to the next or
	previous year, you cannot define New Year's as "last/last plus 1 day".
%% print
	PRINT

	The print mode determines whether a day, year, month, week calendar,
	or year overview is printed. These are the calendar views accessible
	as windows through the View pulldown in the main menu. Week views can
	be printed in landscape (sideways) or Portrait mode; landscape uses
	larger print but has less space for long or very crowded calendars.
	Printing always prints the time period last displayed in the respective
	view window; to select it pop up the window from the View pulldown.

	The "omission" flags, if turned on, remove all appointments or the
	private appointments (those with a padlock in the appointment entry
	menu) from the printed calendar. The color flag generates color
	PostScript.

	The spooler string is a shell command line that accepts the PostScript
	calendar and prints it on a printer. Typical values are "lp" (on SGI
	and other System V derived systems) or "lpr" (on BSD derived systems).
	Redirection is also possible; use "cat > /tmp/file" to redirect the
	PostScript output to a file. If printing of month and year calendars
	fails, make sure that the "plan_cal.ps" PostScript skeleton file
	exists (see Troubleshooting). Some systems require backquoting command
	strings with shell metacharacters, as in `pr | lpr`.

	Press Print to start printing, or Cancel to remove the popup without
	printing.
%% print_print
	PRINT

	Print the calendar specified by the mode select buttons, using the
	shell command string specified in the spooler text area.
%% print_cancel
	CANCEL

	Remove the print popup without printing anything. The spooler string,
	if changed, remains changed.
%% grok
	DATABASE ACCESS

	plan can read databases created with the xmbase-grok program, available
	on all servers where plan is available. The primary ftp servers are
	ftp.fu-berlin.de and ftp.x.org. Information on both plan and grok is
	available on http://www.bitrot.de .

	xmbase-grok is a configurable desktop database with a built-in user
	interface editor for database form creation. It stores data in "cards",
	like a rolodex. Each card contains a number of "fields" that contain
	data. A todo list may have fields for start date, end date, descriptive
	text, and so on. Version 1.4 and up of xmbase-grok let the form author
	specify an optional meaning of each field for plan. The start date field
	in the todo list form may become plan's date, and the descriptive text
	may become plan's note or message. Fields not tagged in this way are
	ignored by plan. As a minimum one field must be tagged as plan's date.

	To make an xmbase-grok database accessible for plan, two steps are
	required:

	1. in the xmbase-grok program, use the Database pulldown to choose
	    a database to be made accessible. Then start the form editor from
	    the File pulldown. On the small canvas window, choose a field that
	    should be read by plan, and use the radio buttons for "Calendar
	    interface" in the main form to specify how plan should interpret
	    the field data. Repeat for other fields. Exactly one field must be
	    tagged this way as "Date+Time". Each tag can be used at most once;
	    it is not possible to have two fields with the same plan tag.

	2. in the plan program, call the file list from the File pulldown.
	    Specify the database file name with a .gf extension. For the todo
	    database, a typical file name is ~/.grok/todo.gf .

	plan ignores all database cards that do not evaluate to a valid date,
	and pops up a warning window if cards cannot be interpreted. If a card
	specifies an end date but not a daily repeat, the daily repeat is
	assumed to be 1 (every day, 7 would be weekly etc.) If the Date+Time
	field only has a date and no time, the no-time flag is automatically
	set (a minus appears in the time column). Date+Time fields that specify
	only a time or duration and no date are ignored, this is an error. See
	the online help for xmbase-grok's form editor for Date+Time formats.
	The default for no-alarm is false.

	If plan cannot find a Date+Time field or a note field, it will attempt tO
	pick default fields for date and note. This allows plan to read untagged
	databases, but the result is not always what one would expect.

	In this version of plan and xmbase-grok, it is not possible to specify
	defaults or grok expressions for interpretations, to combine multiple
	fields into one plan message, to modify and write back database files
	in plan, and to read databases from a netplan IP server. All of this
	is useful but not currently at the top of my todo list.
