Caledar problem

[Joe]

Nope.  It wasn't on Mandrake.  I downloaded and installed it with no 
problem and it appears to run.  now I have to RTFM.  The untouched 
configure ... put it in /usr/local/bin, so I had to execute it from 
there.  Now, we'll have to see how it behaves when I'm offline and it 
runs.  Probably won't cause any problems.

Thanks a lot.
