Soft To Add Holidays To Default Pim?
« on: January 22, 2006, 06:06:58 pm »
I searched for this using "holiday" and "calendar" and "PIM"
I have Cacko 1.23
I'm looking for a program like the one for the Palm.
You launch it and it inserts all the American holidays into the default calander app.
You can select which holidays you want included or not included.
It's a freeware called: "HolidayUSA"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Features include:
Version 1.1
Added support for Treo 600

Version 1.0
    * Holidays are categorized into All holidays, Govt holidays, and Season holidays.  
Season holidays are the dates for the solstices/equinoxes for the year.
The Govt category contains Federal holidays and other US government holidays that may not affect work schedules.
    *  Has preferences that allow you to remember the last category and the last year you viewed.
    * Allows you to use Next and Previous buttons to see the dates of holidays in different years.  
    * Tapping on the year will show you a list of years that you can select from.
    * Can place the dates of the holidays into the Palm Date Book.
    * Displays dates using the date format you have specified in your Palm Pilot preferences.
    * Gives you the ability to add holidays to a Favorite category.

Thank you,
Jon

Try Qualendar: http://ichitokumei.hp.infoseek.co.jp/qualendar (ENGLISH at http://ichitokumei.hp.infoseek.co.jp/quale.../index_en.html)
its a replacement calendar that handles holidays well - i cant remember how I got them in there in the first place i think by hand in an xml file...

maybe holidaycalc will help? http://holidaycalc.sourceforge.net/download.php

anonuk,
Thank you. I have been using Qualendar, and It looks like it's a lot more powerful than the default calendar. The settings are somewhat difficult. I used the holiday package you mentioned, but I think the holiday fonts are japanese because they display as boxes.
I'm using it on a C3100 and the webpage where I downloaded it from, says there issues with the C-xxxx series.
I like the way it looks, and my main purpose of using it is for the "Monthly" view. but the interface items are very tiny. I can change the font sizes, but not to "bold". The day view displays the hours in very tiny boxes and if I increase the font size, the numbers overlap the boxes and each other. I'm going to play with it some more and see if I can get it to the way I like it. I'll do more searching and see if I can get the holidays to display in English. I posted a screenshot of the "Day" view.
I actually like the calendar that came with my Palm Zire 72. It's interface is easy to read and navagate. I'm looking for something similar to it.
Jon
