- The AWK script converts .vcs files into XAPIA format files that can then
- be dragged and dropped on the Calendar icon of the front panel to
- insert an appointment in the CDE calendar.
- Initial version:
- The program has some limitations. For the moment, it ignores ToDo items
- and only converts appointment items. Also, it has to convert
- appointments that extend on more than a single day (such as holidays)
- into daily repeats
- and to transform "UNTIL=" repetitions into a number of repetition.
- This is done by using an average duration of 30.44 days for a month
- and 365.25 days for a year instead of using the correct duration for
- leap years and for months. So the duration of an appointment can
- be sometimes calculated incorrectly.
- Appointments in the local time are not handled very well. The script
- assumes that the local time is UTC+1.
- It is released under MIT license.

- They require to install the Calendar-CSA-0.8.tar.gz Perl libraries from CPAN.
- Christian Pélissier has posted a dtksh program in a french
- email list on Solaris x86 that also does the vcal to XAPIA
- conversion. His message is archived here:
- http://www.mail-archive.com/solaris_fr@x86.sun.com/msg02388.html
- Version 2.2.4:

- Easter, Ascension Day and Whit Sunday.
- Current version:
- - added support for ToDo items.
- - added support for numeric timezones (TZ:+NN or TZ:-NN).
