Ugh.  Try plan, it's available in binary form from one of the linux sites,
I can't remember which.  I'm sure it's in the LSM... anyway, I find it to
be very good.  you can have different "groups" which are essentially event
lists, you can program it to either execute things or mail you or send you
a popup window under X at the specified times.  (each event/appointment
has three times which you can link to it: early warning, late warning, and
the time itself.) It has daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly views.  It has
repeating event capabilities, etc. Holidays are kept in a separate file,
unfortunately you have to create it.  I had a little trouble starting it
up because the colors were unusable, but with a little playing with
Xresources, it works great. 

Now, if only I could find a decent contact manager... why do all the 
rolodex programs and such expect a snailmail address and phone number to 
be so important?  How bout email address, handle, and home page?  Anyone 
have a pointer to a good one?
