I don't want to start this whole discussion again, this was brought up
in October, 1987 (I think)...

If you have 3.5 or 3.51 operating system, there is a directory /etc/fixes
that includes:

# ls -l /etc/fixes
total 207
-rw-r--r--  1 root    other         0 Oct 16 21:33 .fixedlist
-rwxr-xr-x  1 bin     bin       83924 Jan  1  1970 pcal
-rw-r--r--  1 bin     bin       21894 Jan  1  1970 pcal.hlp

There's the program, why it was put there is beyond me, but this is what
you have to do:

# mv /etc/fixes/pcal /usr/bin
# strip /usr/bin/pcal  		NOTE: You can leave this step out if you don't
				      have the Development Set or like 
				      symbols ;-)
# mv /etc/fixes/pcal.hlp /usr/lib/ua
# vi /usr/lib/ua/Office

[add this to the Office]

Name=Calendar
Default = Open
Open=EXEC -d /usr/bin/pcal -c
Help=EXEC -d /usr/bin/uahelp -h /usr/lib/ua/ua.hlp -t Calendar


Now you have the Calendar program that you'll wait a *LONG* time for
from AT&T ...
