Keywords: Calendar program Message-ID: <360@gizzmo.UUCP> Date: 28 Sep 88 07:09:47 GMT Organization: Objective Programming Inc. Lines: 27 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Just a Calendar tidbit. I learned the hard way that if the LOGNAME environmental variable is set for the Calendar program running under smgr (as when it is evoked by pressing thekey when the calendar icon pops up on the top of your screen), it will mess up the Calendar program. Instead of looking for active alarms for the user requesting it, it looks for active alarms for the user specified in the LOGNAME variable, and if it cannot find any there, it says: "Sorry, no active alarms yet for YYYYMMDDTTTT" (where the last is the exact year/month/day/time or thereafter it was looking for active alarms). -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- David Solan Post Office Box 123 Norwalk, CT 06856 Voice: (203) 866-6900 attmail: -- 24 million Americans will die in the next 10 years without their seat belts on.
