When
When is an extremely simple personal calendar program, aimed at the Unix geek who wants something minimalistic. It can keep track of things you need to do on particular dates. It's a very short and simple program, so you can easily tinker with it yourself. It doesn't depend on any libraries, so it's easy to install. You should be able to install it on any system where Perl is available, even if you don't have privileges for installing libraries. Its file format is a simple text file, which you can edit in your favorite editor.

Re: Feature request....
Hi Robert --
Glad you like the software! I originally started design on When by doing exactly what you're talking about, but I decided the complication wasn't worthwhile. BTW, I may not check this freshmeat page very often, so anybody who wants to contact me about When is better off emailing me using the contact info given at www.lightandmatter.com... .

Feature request....
First off let me say When is fantastic. I use every day, have scripts that run and email info stored in it and all.
Is it possible to add a time field for entries? I'd like to use more for appointments with time's. Being able to run when with an option to display say the next X hours instead of just days.
Thanks very much for a fantastic bit of software!
