As quoted from <326@siodo.UCSD.EDU> by laver@siodo.UCSD.EDU (Mick Laver):
+---------------
| I'm looking for a package that will allow users on a mac network to view
| each others' schedules and -- given the right permissions -- make
| updates and additions. Ideally it would have the functionality of the
| UNIX "month" utility, which allows a user to post private events which
| are not viewable by others. I could live without that capability, though.
+---------------

I'm using the single-user version of "Appointment Diary and Smart Alarms" from
JAM Software -- the multi-user (network) version is claimed to have those
capabilities.  It is a pair of DAs and an INIT (for Smart Alarms); not much in
the bells&whistles department, it does its job and nothing else, and does it
well (IMHO).  The network version is, I believe, $99 (for 5 users) from
MacWarehouse.  The one problem I have with it is their special installer for
Smart Alarms; no doubt it's intended to work with early MacOSes without the
INIT file capability, but I would prefer the option of installing it with
standard tools so I know what it's doing to my poor overworked System file ;-)

DISCLAIMER:  I have nothing to do with JAM Software, I'm just a reasonably
happy user of the product.
