[ANN] UnixCal - Mac OS X only

I found out that the FreeBSD basis for OS X includes a Terminal app 
called calendar, that reads a set of calendar files buried deep in the 
system. They are mainly lists of things that happened on this day.. or 
public holidays, as well as a few funny groups like dates of major 
events in the Lord of the Rings!

Anyway, I decided it would be fun to have a Revolution front-end to 
display this data, since I wasn't going to wade through the Terminal 
every day to check it! If anyone is interested, both the app and the 
stack file are available at: http://www.troz.net/

This is Mac OS X only, and I haven't tested it on anything other than 
10.3.2 but it is possible that it would run on Unix/Linux if they have 
the calendar files and they are stored in the same folders. If anyone 
proves or disproves this, please let me know.

Have fun,
Sarah
