What?

I finally realised why planner-diary.el was failing for me, at least. It says that it looks in diary-file for it's info, but actually, it looks in diary-file as it was. It has a form like this (defcustom planner-diary-file diary-file) so if you do (require 'planner-diary) (setq diary-file "~/documents/diary") things will not behave as expected. Well this is a step forward at least. All I need now, is to get it to respond to block dates, and I'll be nearly there.
