Many thanks to those who replied with all the helpfull sugestions,
particularly Erik Christiansen "calendar" being the program I was thinking
about. I knew a program like that existed unfortunately it is hidden in the
bsdmainutils package and interestingly a google search did not bring it up.
Linux since kernel 0.96d (aprox mid 1992)
and at the time Linus never thought it would get beyond Intel 386 and
higher cpu's.
