I use a template from Scribus for calendaring. In general if there is an alternative to a KDE program to do a task I use the alternative. The main fault with KDE ops is that they are overly integrated. I use one program for email, another for maintaining my calendar, and my own creation (TeX based) for addressing envelopes. -- There are a few exceptions, but very few. I use Okular because installing Acroread gets harder all the time. But I use Claws Mail for email and Libre Office for most other "Office" functions. -- John Culleton Wexford Press Free list of books for self-publishers: http://wexfordpress.net/shortlist.html PDF e-book: "Create Book Covers with Scribus" available at http://www.booklocker.com/books/4055.html -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
