                     12: calendar is the COHERENT system's ``reminder service''.  It reads
                     13: a user's  $HOME directory and looks for  a file called .calendar.
                     14: This file  contains information  organized by date.   If calendar
                     15: finds .calendar,  it reads it and checks the  date of each entry;
                     16: if an  event is scheduled to happen today  or tomorrow, it prints
                     17: it.  Thus,  you can use  calendar to remind you  of both one-time
                     18: events (such as appointments) and yearly events (such as anniver-
                     19: saries).

                     21: The following  gives an example  of a .calendar  file.  Note that
                     22: ccaalleennddaarr understands different formats of dates:

                     42: If you wish, you can  run calendar automatically for all users on
                     43: your system, by inserting it into file /usr/lib/crontab.  In this
                     44: case, calendar  should be  used with  its -a option;  this forces
                     45: calendar to  search every user's $HOME  directory for a .ccaalleennddaarr
                     46: file, and mail the appointments it finds to that user.
                     47: 
                     48: Note that calendar's  definition of tomorrow understands weekends
                     49: but not  holidays; thus, if  invoked on a Friday,  it will return
                     50: the events  for that day and the  following Saturday, Sunday, and
                     51: Monday.  If  Monday is a  holiday, however, you  will not receive
                     52: appointments for Tuesday.
