NAME
       xdiary - your personal organizer

SYNOPSIS
       xdiary [-usage] [xdiaryOption ...] [toolkitOption ...]

DESCRIPTION
       XDiary is your personal organizer that combines the functions of a
       desktop calendar, an appointment book and an alarm clock. XDiary will
       help you keep track of your meetings, appointments and plan your time.

       XDiary is a Motif/X Windows application which allows you to manage one
       or more calendars with a 'few clicks with the mouse'.

       XDiary is a powerful calendar; it can be used as you personal reminder
       or it can be a group calendar shared by several people. As a group
       calendar, it can handle multiple diary databases and offers full access
       control.

       XDiary is based on a calendar and a day view. By using the calendar,
       you select the day that interests you and in the day view, you register
       your appointments and notes in the appointment window.

       A calendar can be personal (with your private appointments),belong to a
       group (with group meetings) or be public (department wide information).
       You normally start to use XDiary as your private calendar but you
       should know that XDiary is capable of much more.

       For an entry (an appointment or a note) in the day view, you can define
       one or more alarms that will give you reminders. You are free to select
       the time when the alarm should sound and you can also select the tune
       to be played.

       The best way to learn XDiary is to use it. Do not be afraid, try all
       functions you can find and if you need assistance, just use the built
       in help, it is there to support you.

OPTIONS
       All standard Xt Intrinsics toolkit options are supported.  In addition,
       xdiary supports several other options which are described in the XDiary
       on-line help.
