Alarm

=Title Alarm
=Keyword alarm
=include csh timeslot_entry alarm_setting
 DECwindows Calendar alarms are appointment reminders that
 are sent at prescribed intervals before an entry's start
 time. An alarm consists of both an audible beep and a
 message box that contains the text from the entry.

autoscroll

=TITLE Autoscroll
=keyword autoscroll
=include overview options_menu customize_day clock_autoclick
=INCLUDE overview widget_section day_widget clock
 In addition to showing the current time, the clock allows
 the current Day view to autoscroll. Autoscrolling causes
 timeslots that are visible in the Day view to adjust so
 that the current time is always within the first
 displayed timeslot.

 If the displayed day is not the current day (today),
 clicking on the clock in the Day view will also cause
 the current day to be displayed instead.

 Autoscrolling can be turned off (for example, by moving
 the displayed day with the scroll bar). If autoscrolling
 is turned off, click on the clock to restart it.

Daynote

=TITLE Day Note
=KEYWORD Daynote
=include overview functions_1 entry_daynotes
=INCLUDE glossary handle
 Day Notes are identical to ordinary calendar entries,
 except that they are not associated with a particular
 time. They are displayed below the date in the Day
 view.

 Information that is specific to a particular day but not
 to a particular time can be entered in a Day Note. Day
 Notes are useful for denoting birthdays, anniversaries,
 and so on.

 You can cause Day Notes to repeat at designated intervals
 and select icons to appear in their handles by double
 clicking on the Day Note and making the desired changes
 in the Day Note Editor.  Day Notes cannot have alarms.

Fortnight

=TITLE Fortnight
=KEYWORD fortnight
=INCLUDE csh timeslot_entry repeat_interval
 A fortnight (or fortnite) is equal to 2 weeks.

 An appointment that occurs fortnightly occurs every
 14 days.

Handle

=TITLE Handle
=KEYWORD handle
=INCLUDE overview functions_1 entry_moving
=include overview functions_1
=include csh timeslot_entry
=include csh timeslot_entry timeslot_icons
 A handle is the area in a calendar entry between the
 timeslot and the resize bar. The handle serves a number of
 purposes.

 Its primary function is to allow you to move an entry to
 a different timeslot by holding MB1 down on the entry and
 dragging the entry to the new location.

 When entries overlap, clicking on a handle causes that
 entry to pop to the front.

 A handle also displays the icons that are associated with
 the entry (for example, an alarm icon is displayed if you
 have an alarm set for the entry). Most of the icons are
 set from the Entry Editor.

Icons

=title Icons
=include csh timeslot_entry timeslot_icons
=INCLUDE overview options_menu customize_icon
 Icons are symbols that can be added to entries to act as
 mnemonics for the contents of the entry. The icons are
 displayed in the Entry Editor.

 Calendar attaches no meaning to the icons. They are for
 you to use as reminders of the content of a particular
 entry.

 The term "icon" also refers to the Calendar icon in the
 DECwindows icon box. You can customize this icon. For
 more information, see the help topic Customizing Icon
 Settings.

Mark

=Title Mark
=Keyword mark
=include overview edit_menu options_mark
 You can use the Mark menu item on the Edit menu to alter
 the display font of holidays, important personal days, or
 major project milestones.  This makes special days
 visually distinguishable from other days in Calendar
 displays.

resize bar

=Title Resize Bar
=Keyword reduce expand resize bar entry
=INCLUDE overview functions_1 entry_resize
=include overview functions_1
=INCLUDE overview options_menu customize_day
=INCLUDE overview options_menu customize_day resize_size
=include overview options_menu customize_day timeslot_size
 The resize bar (a dumbbell shape in Calendar entries) is
 used to expand or reduce the size of an entry. Click on
 the upper "weight" to drag the top edge of the entry, or
 the lower "weight" to drag the bottom edge. Drag the
 entry edge to the earlier or later time you desire.

 The resize bar can be set to finer time increments than
 those indicated in the Day view. This is useful if, for
 example, you charge for time in 3 minute increments,
 but like to keep a more reasonable 15 minute interval
 on the display.

 You can set the increment used by the resize bar from the
 Day view dialog box. See the help topic Choosing a Time
 Interval for the Resize Bar.

significant

=TITLE Significant Entries
=INCLUDE overview options_menu customize_day italicizing_day
=INCLUDE overview options_menu
 Days containing at least one entry or Day Note are
 displayed (flagged) in a different font in Month views.
 You cannot flag particular entries or Day Notes.

 This feature is preset in the standard Calendar and is
 useful if you have relatively few entries. To switch
 off flagging in the Month view, use the Flag options in
 the Day view dialog box.

 An alternative method of flagging significant days is to
 choose Special from the Mark submenu, which is accessible
 from the Edit menu. This method of flagging does not
 require the day to have any entries or Day Notes, and it
 can be set for any number of specific days.

Timeslot

=Title Timeslot
=Keyword timeslot
=include CSH timeslot_entry
=INCLUDE glossary resize_bar
=INCLUDE overview options_menu
 A timeslot is the unit of time in the Day view. Timeslots
 can be set to 5, 15, 30, or 60 minutes. Multiple
 timeslots can be selected and joined to create entries
 that last longer than the default timeslot.

 You can set finer intervals of time for entries (down to
 1 minute) with the resize bar. By default, the interval
 used by the resize bar is 5 minutes, but you can modify
 it in the Day view dialog box.

history

=Title Brief History of the Gregorian Calendar
=Keyword gregorian calendar background
=INCLUDE overview
 As decreed by Pope Gregory XIII, October 4, 1582, was
 followed by October 15, 1582. Thus ended the 1600-year
 reign of the Julian calendar upon which the Gregorian
 calendar is based, and thus began the calendar which
 DECwindows Calendar uses to measure time.

 Calendars based on sun and moon movement were used even
 by the ancients, but the first reasonably accurate one
 was the 365¼-day cycle calculated by the Greek
 Sosigenes. This was the calendar authorized by Julius
 Caesar in 46 BC. The Julian calendar (not to be
 confused with the Julian period; see below) had 3 years
 of 365 days each, followed by a fourth year of 366
 days.

 The 365¼-day cycle was more accurately defined in 730
 AD by the Venerable Bede, an Anglo-Saxon monk, who
 shortened the time by 11 minutes, 14 seconds. This
 accumulates to a whole day's error every 128 years, or
 a little more than 3 days every 400 years. This being
 the Dark Ages, nothing was done to adjust the Calendar,
 despite Roger Bacon sending a note to Pope Clement IV,
 informing him of the drifting of the date for the
 vernal equinox. Later, Pope Sixtus IV did become
 convinced that another reform was needed and called the
 German astronomer Regiomontanus to Rome to advise him.
 Unfortunately, Regiomontanus died of the plague shortly
 thereafter and the plans died with him.

 Thursday, October 4, 1582 was the next time the
 calendar was adjusted. This last day of the Julian
 calendar was followed by Friday, October 15. So began
 the Gregorian calendar that we use today, named after
 Pope Gregory XIII. He commissioned the mathematician
 Father Christopher Clavius, S.J., to do the necessary
 calculations, having been authorized to reform the
 calendar by the Council of Trent in 1545.

 The Vatican librarian Aloysius Giglio provided a
 formula for long-range accuracy. He suggested that
 every fourth year be a leap year, except for century
 years that are not divisible by 400. Thus 1700, 1800,
 and 1900 would not be leap years, but 2000 would be,
 because 2000 is divisible by 400. This rule eliminated
 3 leap years every 4 centuries, making the calendar
 sufficiently correct for most ordinary purposes.

=include history calendar_background_decwin
 The new calendar was adopted at once by France, Spain,
 Italy, Portugal, and Luxembourg. By 1584, Belgium, parts
 of the Netherlands, Switzerland, and most Catholic
 German states had joined, and by 1587, so had Hungary.
 It was not until 1699-1700 that these countries were
 joined by the rest of the Netherlands, Denmark, and the
 Protestant German countries.

 By the time the British imposed the calendar on all its
 possessions, in 1752, 11 days needed to be lost.
 September 2, 1752, was thus decreed to be followed by
 September 14. In addition, New Year's day was moved
 back from March 25 to January 1. (For example, before,
 March 24, 1700 had been followed by March 25, 1701).
 Among other repercussions, this moved Washington's
 birth date from February 11, 1731, to February 22,
 1732. The following year, 1753, Sweden too adopted the
 calendar.

 In 1793, the French Revolutionary government adopted a
 calendar of 12 months of 30 days each, with 5 extra
 days in September (6 on leap years). The Gregorian
 calendar was reinstated in 1806 by Napoleon.

 Adoption of the calendar in countries outside Europe
 and its Crown possessions occurred much later, and
 often in conjunction with political upheaval: Japan in
 1873, Egypt in 1875, China in 1912, and Turkey in 1917.

 In 1918, Russia's revolutionary government decreed that
 January 31, 1918, would be followed by February 14,
 1918.

 Religious institutions in general seemed to be more
 reluctant to take to the new system.

 German Protestants used the old calendar until 1776,
 three quarters of a century after their countries had
 adopted the Gregorian system.

 Sweden retained the old Easter rules for 90 years after
 switching to the Gregorian calendar, and many Middle
 Eastern Christian sects still retain the Julian
 calendar.

 The Russian Orthodox Church still follows the Julian
 system.

calendar background julian

=Title Julian Period
=Keyword background julian calendar
=include history
=include history calendar_background_decwin
 Astronomers use the Julian period because it is
 convenient to express long time intervals in days
 rather than months, weeks and years. It was devised by
 Joseph Scaliger, in 1582, who named it after his father
 Julius, thus creating the confusion between the Julian
 (Caesar) calendar and the Julian (Scaliger) period.

 Julian Day 1 began at 12:00 noon, January 1, 4713 BC.
 This date was thought by some to correspond
 approximately to the beginning of the universe.
 Certainly it predated any known astronomical events
 known in the 16th century without resorting to negative
 times. Scaliger decided on the actual date on the
 grounds that it was the most recent coincidence of
 three major chronological cycles:

 - The 28-year solar cycle, after which dates in the
   Julian calendar (for example September 27) return to
   the same days of the week (for example Tuesday).

 - The 19-year lunar cycle, after which phases of the
   moon return to the same dates of the year.

 - The 15-year indiction cycle, used in ancient Rome for
   tax regulation.

 It takes 7980 years to complete the cycle. Noon of
 January 1, 1988, marks the beginning of Julian Day
 2447161.

 The Julian period is also of interest because of its
 use as a time base by the VMS operating system.

                        or:

 Why VMS regards November 17, 1858, as the beginning of
 time...

 The modified Julian date adopted by SAO (Smithsonian
 Astrophysical Observatory) for satellite tracking is
 Julian Day 2400000, which turns out to be November 17,
 1858.

 SAO started tracking satellites with an 8K (nonvirtual)
 36-bit IBM 704 in 1957, when Sputnik went into orbit.
 The Julian day was 2435839 on January 1, 1957. This is
 11225377 octal, which was too big to fit into an 18-bit
 field. With only 8K of memory, the 14 bits left over by
 keeping the Julian date in its own 36-bit word would
 have been wasted. They also needed the fraction of the
 current day (for which 18 bits gave enough accuracy),
 so it was decided to keep the number of days in the
 left 18 bits and the fraction of a day in the right 18
 bits of one word.

 Eighteen bits allows the truncated Julian day (the SAO
 day) to grow as large as 262143, which from November
 17, 1858, allowed for 7 centuries. Possibly, the date
 could only grow as large as 131071 (using 17 bits), but
 this still covers 3 centuries and leaves the
 possibility of representing negative time. The 1858
 date preceded the oldest star catalogue in use at SAO,
 which also avoided having to use negative time in any
 of the satellite tracking calculations.

ultrix time

=TITLE Ultrix Time Origins
=Keyword background ultrix
=include history calendar_background_julian julian_and_vms
=include history
=include history calendar_background_julian
=include history calendar_background_decwin
 The beginning of time for Ultrix systems is:

 Thursday January 1 00:00:00 1970

 The reason for this date being chosen is that this was
 the year that UNIX, the "father" of Ultrix, was first
 released.

 Thus dates prior to 1970 are BU; 1970 and later dates
 are AU.

=include history religious_background
 If you read the topics concerning the political and
 religious acceptance of the Gregorian calendar, you
 will see that there is a problem: there are many dates
 for the conversion from the Julian to the Gregorian
 calendar. For example, the British (and therefore the
 Americans) converted in September 1752, so British and
 American Calendar users might expect Calendar to show
 September 2, 1752, to be followed by September 14,
 1752. However, a Russian user would expect to see this
 jump between January 31, 1918, and February 14, 1918.

 DECwindows Calendar conforms to the date of the
 original decree, therefore no days have been lost since
 Friday, October 15, 1582, nor since the beginning of
 DECwindows Calendar time: January 1, 1600. Thus for
 everyone except for users from the majority of the
 Catholic European countries, which all converted before
 this date, there will appear to be an "error" in
 Calendar, where the conversion actually took place.
 This generalization was felt to be acceptable for an
 application not specifically designed for historians.

=TITLE Notes for Users Upgrading from Calendar V1.0
=KEYWORD upgrade, Note, V1
=INCLUDE overview
 This topic lists problems and solutions specific to
 users who are upgrading from Calendar V1.0 to Calendar
 V2.0.

 - In V1.0, clicking on an entry timeslot opened
 that entry so that it could be edited or deleted. In
 V2.0, the ability to stack entries allows you to click
 on  the timeslot in an existing entry and open a new,
 overlapping entry in the same timeslot.

 SOLUTION: To edit or delete an existing entry, click in
 the text area, NOT in the timeslot. To create a new
 entry, click on the timeslot. Clicking on a timeslot
 that is already occupied by an entry causes a new entry
 to be created, stacked "on top of" the old one.

 Before you try to create an entry, click on a
 timeslot and familiarize yourself with the various
 components of the calendar's entry area. From
 left to right, they are:

 - Timeslot, containing the time (highlighted after
   you click on it)
 - Entry handle (a slot containing icons)
 - Resize bar (a thin, vertical bar)
 - Text area

 Note that the entry handle and the resize bar are
 not visible unless you click on the timeslot.

 To create a brief entry, click on one of the timeslots.
 That timeslot becomes highlighted, and a blinking
 cursor appears in the text area next to the
 timeslot.

 To create a longer entry (for example, to show the time
 span of a meeting), click and drag downward on the timeslot.

 You can then type an entry into the text area next to
 the timeslot. To complete your entry, click again on
 the timeslot. The highlighting disappears.

 To edit an existing entry, first open the entry by
 clicking in the text area. Then use the usual editing
 functions to make the changes.  Click on the
 timeslot to close the entry again.

 appears in the Entry Editor's window. After you make
 your changes, click on the OK button at the bottom of
 the Entry Editor. The editor disappears, and your entry
 appears in the text area next to the timeslot.
 (Clicking on the timeslot creates a new entry that
 overlaps the old one.)

 the left of the box is duplicated. You can then type in
 the text area. To complete your entry, click again on
 the Day Note. The highlighting disappears.

 If you create a Day Note that is longer than one line
 of text, the text scrolls off the top of the display.
 When you click on the entry box to close the entry, the

 Calendar has three main views: the Day view, the Month
 view, and the Year view. Use the scroll bars to move
 backward or forward within one view (for example, to
 look at a future month when you are in the Month view).

 To move from one type of view to another, double click
 on an item in the current view. For example, double
 clicking on one of the month names in the Day view
 causes the Month view to appear. Double clicking on a
 day in the Year view causes that Day view to appear.

 The Today menu item in the View menu is useful for
 quickly displaying the current day.

 You can also move from one type of view to another by
 choosing the view you want from the menu items in the
 View menu.

 You can change any view to a different size or shape.
 Click and drag from the resize icon in the top right
 corner of the displayed window.

 You can use different sizes for the Day, Month, and
 Year view. Calendar uses the new size each time that
 view appears. To save the resize settings from one
 session to the next, choose the Save Settings menu item
 from the Customize menu.

 If you reduce the size of a window, the elements that
 normally display within the window appear. However,
 Calendar rearranges elements to fit the new size. For
 example, if you resize the Year view so that it is wide
 enough to display four months across the screen but
 only tall enough to display two months, Calendar
 displays eight months in a 4-by-2 grid.

 - Close the current calendar

 - Rename a calendar

 - Delete a calendar

 - Print a copy of a calendar timeslot, day, or week

 - Include a text file in a calendar entry

 You can use calendars for different purposes by opening
 several of them. For instance, a group secretary might
 create a calendar of events that are of interest to
 an entire group. Group members could open the calendar
 in a separate view when scheduling events in their own
 calendars. Because the Open menu item can open a
 calendar in which you are not allowed to make entries,
 you can only "share" such calendars informally.

 Choose the Open... menu item on the File menu to use a
 different or additional calendar. You are asked for the
 name of the calendar you want to open and whether it
 should replace the current calendar or appear in a
 separate calendar window. The newly opened calendar
 presents a Month view containing the current day.

 If you specify the name of a calendar file to which
 you do not have read access, the Open... operation
 fails and a message appears explaining the cause of
 the failure.

 the appointments in a selected calendar timeslot, day,
 or week to an ASCII file. You can then send that file
 to a printer to produce a hard copy of the file.

 Click on the time, day number, or week number. Choose
 the Print... menu item from the File menu. A dialog box
 appears showing the time period you have selected and
 providing a default name for the file to be sent to the
 printer. You can change the name before confirming or
 canceling your request by clicking on the relevant
 button.

 To make notes while you are away from your Calendar, you
 can create a blank form by printing blank days. To print
 blank days, ensure that the Print Blank Days option in the
 Generalize dialog box (accessible from the Customize menu)
 is enabled. Then find one or more days which currently do
 not have any entries, and print them using the method
 described above.

 Calendar allows you to print in two print formats (in
 addition to the standard text printout): PostScript and
 DDIF. If you are familiar with PostScript, you can
 create your own personalized print format. Copy the
 SYS$LIBRARY:DECW$CALENDAR_PROLOG.PS file to a local
 directory, tailor the personal copy, then define the
 logical name DECW$CALENDAR_PROLOG to point to the
 personalized file.

 menu item also moves an entry to another timeslot but
 does not delete the entry from the first timeslot.

 The Cut and Copy menu items store the selected entry
 on the clipboard. The Paste menu item then moves the
 entry to the new timeslot.

 The Clear menu item deletes a selected entry. You can
 choose only those menu items that can be used at the
 time. For example, if you have not selected an entry,
 you will not be able to use the Copy menu item.
 Calendar reminds you of this fact by displaying the
 word Copy in a dimmed font on the menu.

 view for any day initially displays timeslots for this
 period.

 You can change these times to suit your normal work day by
 changing the Start and Finish times in the Day View dialog
 box, which is accessible from the Customize menu. To adjust
 the settings, click on the hour or minute box. Each click

 Use the Flag option to flag entries and Day Notes that
 are significant. Enabling this option changes the font
 of the specified day in Month views. Entries that you
 do not flag as significant do not change font when you

 The vertical padding option allows you to set the
 relative height of the timeslots. The greater the
 value, the greater the amount of white space. Larger
 values tend to be more readable, while smaller values
 allow more timeslots to be displayed in the same space.

 The stacking option enables you to determine how
 partially overlapping entries are visually stacked.
 You can choose one of two ways:

 - Show Length. This mode stacks overlapping entries
   so that the left side of each entry is always visible,
   thereby revealing the sequence of the entries. Entries
   that start and end at the same time are always displayed
   in this manner.

 - Show Text. This mode stacks partially overlapping entries
   so that the first line of each entry is visible (although
   the entries overlap), thereby revealing the
   content of the entries.

 Calendar does not save any changes you make to the
 stacking order for a given set of entries.

 timebar. A value of zero removes the timebars
 completely.

 Calendar can display a day, month, or year of your
 calendar. The dates that have appointments can be
 italicized so that you can see them at a glance (see
 Enabling and Disabling Entry and Day Note Significance).

 To see the view for a particular day, double click on that
 day. Similarly, to see the view for any year or month,
 double click on that year or the name of that month in the
 current view.

 You can also move from one type of view to another by

 The Year view shows a full year in the usual Gregorian
 format: 12 months of 6 weeks each, presented in a 4 x 3
 matrix. Although the Year view is primarily for information
 only, you can display specific months and days within it by
 double clicking on them.

 The Year view displays the full name of each month, and
 each of the weeks is numbered consecutively from 1 to 52.
 Nonworking days and holidays are displayed in a different
 font from working days.

 The Year view available to Calendar users who access
 the application remotely from VAXmates or similar
 workstations displays six months only. Using the
 standard settings, if the displayed year is the same as
 the actual year, the six months displayed will contain
 the day that is the actual day (today).

 The Day view looks like a page from a traditional desk
 calendar.  The Day view provides times of day, with
 timeslots for entries, and this month and next month's
 calendar.

 Unlike a traditional calendar, the Day view features a
 digital clock, which has several features that affect the
 behavior of the Day view.  The Day view also has vertical
 bars beside the timeslots; these bars indicate working
 hours and appointments.

 The Day view clock provides a digital display of the
 current time. In addition to showing the time, the clock
 allows the current Day view to scroll automatically
 (autoscroll). The clock has no border when it is
 autoscrolling.

 To start autoscrolling, click on the clock. The timeslots
 that are visible in the Day view adjust so that the
 current time appears within the first timeslot.
 Thereafter, as a timeslot passes, it scrolls off the top
 of the window, which keeps the view as up to date as
 possible.

 The clock performs this function for only the current
 day. If the Day view is not the current day, clicking on
 the clock first replaces the displayed day with the
 current day. Autoscrolling then takes place as usual.

 To stop this autoscrolling, move the timeslots by
 any other method, for example, clicking on the scroll
 bar. Autoscrolling is turned off at the end of the day.

 If you are making an entry in a timeslot when it is due
 to be scrolled, the entry does not "disappear." The
 scroll mechanism waits until the next interval is over
 and then catches up.
