I have installed the prerequisite sw (there are several parts) and
got Pilotmgr to run on Red Hat 4.2/XFree86.  As noted, the part we
want is the calendar, for which CDE is needed.

So I've embarked on the CDE project, using Xi Graphics' Accelerated-X
and CDE (developer edition).  I've been working with XiG support to
get the last ;-> problem ironed out.  When that happens, I'll go back
to the Pilotmgr project.  When I have a whole story, I'll post the
Linux details here.
