You give evo an url, and it will pull the file with gnome-vfs, and then periodically check for updates, so that when the ical file is updated on the web, you see the changes on your calendar. I dont know about the technical details though, since I dont do coding myself. But that was the idea how it should work. Tuomas > > Tuomas Kuosmanen wrote: > | On Tue, 2003-07-22 at 15:56, Brent L.
