NAME
       xdiary -	your personal organizer

SYNOPSIS
       xdiary [-usage] [xdiaryOption ...] [toolkitOption ...]

DESCRIPTION
       XDiary  is  your	 personal  organizer  that combines the	functions of a
       desktop calendar, an appointment	book and an alarm clock.  XDiary  will
       help you	keep track of your meetings, appointments and plan your	time.

       XDiary  is a Motif/X Windows application	which allows you to manage one
       or more calendars with a	'few clicks with the mouse'.

       XDiary is a powerful calendar; it can be	used as	you personal  reminder
       or  it  can  be	a  group calendar shared by several people. As a group
       calendar, it can	handle multiple	diary databases	and offers full	access
       control.

       XDiary is based on a calendar and a day view. By	 using	the  calendar,
       you select the day that interests you and in the	day view, you register
       your appointments and notes in the appointment window.

       A calendar can be personal (with	your private appointments),belong to a
       group (with group meetings) or be public	(department wide information).
       You  normally  start  to	 use  XDiary  as your private calendar but you
       should know that	XDiary is capable of much more.

       For an entry (an	appointment or a note) in the day view,	you can	define
       one or more alarms that will give you reminders.	You are	free to	select
       the time	when the alarm should sound and	you can	also select  the  tune
       to be played.

       The  best  way  to learn	XDiary is to use it. Do	not be afraid, try all
       functions you can find and if you need assistance, just use  the	 built
       in help,	it is there to support you.

OPTIONS
       All standard Xt Intrinsics toolkit options are supported.  In addition,
       xdiary supports several other options which are described in the	XDiary
       on-line help.

       You  might  also	find the following utilities useful. For each utility,
       you can get more	help with the flag -usage, e.g.
