     NAME
	  dtcm - The CDE Calendar Manager.

     SYNOPSIS
	  dtcm [-v view ] [-c calendar ] [-p printer]

     DESCRIPTION
	  dtcm is the CDE appointment and resource scheduling tool.
	  Use it to:
	       - Display day, week, month, and year views of your
	       calendar
	       - Schedule single or repeating calendar entries
	       - Browse and edit another user's calendar
	       - Schedule reminders to give you notice of events
	       - Restrict access to your calendar
	       - Print high-quality hardcopy
	       - View and Schedule entries for a group of calendars
	       - Change the time zone context
	       - Announce appointments via electronic mail
	       - Schedule appointments received in electronic mail

     OPTIONS
	  dtcm accepts all of the standard X Toolkit command line
	  options as well as the following:

	  -c calendar
	       Specifies the calendar to display.  The default value
	       is equivalent to $USER@$HOST.

	  -p printer
	       Specifies the default printer.  The default is the
	       system's default printer.

	  -v view
	       Specifies the initial view.  Values can be "day",
	       "week", "month" or "year".

     CONCEPTS
	  A calendar is a persistent entity existing somewhere on the
	  network, which contains scheduling data for a user.  A
	  calendar entry is an event recorded within the context of a
	  calendar.  Calendar entries supported by dtcm are
	  appointment and to-do.  Calendar entries can be single, or
	  repeat entries.  A calendar entry may have one or more
	  reminders associated with it.	 A reminder causes dtcm to
	  notify you by issuing an alarm when the system time enters
	  your specified reminder notice period before the event.
	  When viewing your calendar, you have the notion of the
	  current date, which is the date you last selected by
	  selecting the Day View, or by clicking in any of the other

	  views.  The current date does not change until you select
	  another date, even if you have navigated out of a view that
	  would contain the current date.

	  dtcm presents a network calendar model. To operate on a
	  calendar belonging to some user on the network, dtcm
	  establishes a session with a calendar server.	 The calendar
	  server is (conceptually at least) a separate process running
	  on the host where the calendar is located.  It manages all
	  the calendars for the host on which it is running, and can
	  service multiple connected applications simultaneously.  The
	  calendar server responds to authentication, session control
	  and calendar transactions initiated by dtcm.	In addition
	  dtcm responds to events occurring at the server, such as
	  updates caused by other connected applications instances.

     USAGE
	  dtcm has a single main window, containing a graphical
	  calendar.  You can choose to view day, week, month or year
	  in the main window.  Navigating between the views is
	  achieved by selecting the view from the View menu, or by
	  clicking one of the navigation buttons displayed in the
	  current view.

			 calendar, followed by an optional list of
			 calendars that you can add to the menu using
			 the Menu Editor... option described above.
			 Your own calendar always appears first.  The
			 other options are listed in alphabetical
			 order.

	  Secondary Windows

	  In addition to the main window, dtcm has several secondary
	  windows, which give you access to the scheduling and
	  browsing features of dtcm.

	  The Appointment Editor allows scheduling of appointments.
	  An appointment is the most common type of calendar entry.
	  It is useful for scheduling time-slots in your calendar, and
	  can be exported to other users either by direct entry to
	  their calendars, or through electronic mail.	To invoke the
	  appointment editor, select it from the Schedule menu in the
	  main window, or double-click anywhere in the graphical
	  calendar view.

	  The To Do Editor allows you to maintain a list of to-do
	  items for your personal use.	To-do entries are not visible
	  to other dtcm users who are browsing your calendar; they are
	  private to you.  To-do entries differ from appointments in
	  that they do not necessarily appear as scheduled events in
	  your calendar views.	If they have a Due Date associated
	  with them, you will see that on your calendar view.  The
	  main purpose of to-do entries is to allow you to maintain a
	  list of work items, without necessarily allocating calendar
	  time for them.  Invoke the to-do editor by selecting it from
	  the Schedule menu in the main window.

	  The Group Appointment Editor allows you to schedule an
	  appointment on multiple calendars at once.   Invoke the
	  group appointment editor by clicking Schedule in the Compare
	  Calendars window.   You may optionally announce the
	  appointment over electronic mail.

	  The Compare Calendars window allows you to connect to
	  several calendars simultaneously, and get a graphical
	  overview of busy and available time in the resultant
	  "virtual calendar".  Invoke the compare calendars window by
	  selecting it from the Browse menu in the main window.

	  The Options window, accessible from the File menu, gives you
	  access to the dtcm options that you can configure.  There
	  are several categories of options: Editor Defaults; Display
	  Settings; Access List and Permissions; Printer Settings;
	  Date Format.	Set the options to suit your requirements, and
	  save them by clicking Apply.
