- Regarding the HP APPT program: I think it can be found via ftp to
- hpcvbbs.cv.hp.com. This is the HP BBS ftp area and most (if not all) the
- stuff published by HP (public domain, that is) can be found there.
-
- If your looking for something a lot smaller, faster, but with a subset of
- HP's features and a few that HP's APPT doesn't have, I wrote a program
- called SCH48 that might serve your purposes. It displays a calender an a
- time line indicating the blocks of time taken up by appointments. I have
- recieved good reviews from other people as well as some suggestions for
- improving it (which I will eventual get around to). SCH48 v1.2 can be
- found on the HP BBS, or via ftp to seq.uncwil.edu in these directories:
- hp48/comp.sources.hp48/volume07 or
- hp48/Uploads (last time I checked)
-
- I hope this helps!

- P.S. The HP APPT program takes up so much space mostly because it is
- written in user RPL. It also has some unnecessary (at least to me)
- features that eat a lot of memory. User RPL also makes APPT a bit slow.
- SCH48 is written in sys-RPL (with a little ML) and is much faster and
- smaller (~3k).
