I just realized my ~/calendar file has been ignored since upgrading to
NeXTSTEP Release 3.0.  Here's the relevant line from /etc/crontab.local:

          1 5 * * *  root /usr/bin/calendar -

I fiddled with this for a while & finally got it to work by replacing the
/usr/lib/calendar binary with an old version from NeXT2.1.

So, if you use a calendar file & depend on cron to do the work, beware.
It's not fun missing birthdays, wedding anniversaries, etc. :-)
