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 func-
     tions 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.

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

     gives  you  some  help for the utility xdalarm. Otherwise, try the built-in
     help facility in XDiary, it's not bad!
