	Well...  I can't think of any scripts, but there are programs
available for X that perform similar functions to Windows' "Calendar"
program.  They're available in source code form on ftp sites like
sunsite.unc.edu under (I think) the /pub/linux/xapps directory (I haven't
been on sunsite in so long, I can't verify the path).  I used to run one on
my system but have since re-partitioned and re-installed Linux and didn't
remember to back it up first, so I can't remember the name.  There are many
different ones available though; just download all of them... :)

	One more item.  Have you considered using Wine (the Windows
emulator)?  I play with Wine every now and then on my system, and although I
can't get most Windows programs to run (Wine is VERY alpha right now), I
seem to remember Calendar running perfectly.  You may want to try it out.
