ICS Generation

I don't know of one - but the minimal version (i.e. all-day events only, 
no repeating events, no multiple timezones) should be really trivial. If 
no-one comes up with something in the next day or two I'll try it as my 
weekend project.

Bob - if you want to interact with calendars, take a look at Bill 
Vlahos's library as Matthias pointed out. If you want to read (i.e. not 
write) ICS files I have a library for doing that - let me know and I'll 
check if it works with recent versions of LC and send it to you.

And if you are even thinking of programming something with times/dates, see
