What is ical?
Ical provides an X interface for maintaining a calendar. A calendar is basically just a set of items. An item is either an appointment, or a notice. An appointment starts at a particular time of the day, and finishes at a particular time of the day. A notice does not have any starting or ending time. Notices are useful for marking certain days as special. For example, a calendar may contain a notice for April 15th indicating that taxes are due. When the documentation below refers to an item, it applies both to notices and appointments. The main features of ical are:

• Items can be created and edited easily.
• Items can be cut, copied and pasted.
• Items can be made to repeat in various ways.
• Ical will generate alarms for upcoming appointments.
• Users can view many calendars at a time.
• Calendars can be shared by many users.
• Related items can be grouped in their own calendar.
