"If you want to get ahead, get a hat" was still popular advice in London, when I was young. Since Mochi has now acquired one, he may now have answered his own question.

However, amigo might advise a sombrero might be bigger and better and lead to much faster advancement.

Yeah, I suppose it does go back a long way.
I am still using it in EasyOS. Yes, click on the clock to run it.

... and v1.23.1 is NOT OK, please see the note about tahr versions on previous page.


@mcb
It may sound a bit off-topic, but for more complex command-line calendars
with more features try:

- pal_0.4.3-8
- gcal_3.6.3-3
- calcurse_3.1.4-2
- when_1.1.31-3
- wyrd_1.4.4-1

.. can be installed from Puppy Package Manager.

...and I wrote that busybox v1.21.0 looks OK to me. On the previous page you compared Tahr versions, suggesting that Tahr makes the difference. You didn't mention that they use different busybox versions, which I only know now after having dowloaded Tahr6.0.6.

I agree that Tahr6.0.6 with its busybox v1.23.1 is not OK but Tahr6.0.6 shows no bugs when using Tahr6.0.5's busybox v1.21.0 instead. So this clearly seems to be a problem with this particular busybox version and can easily be "fixed" by reverting to the older version.

Still you should deem yourself lucky. Busybox cal can get even worse. With v1.21.0 and locale ja_JP I get no weekday labels at all. This is particularly strange as the Kanji character for "Month" is correctly displayed in the first line. The Kanji character for "Monday" is the same but cal can't display it. None of the numerous other calendar apps have problems with the labels.

It seems it has always been there, and I would find a Puppy without it, incomplete! Shocked I use it, very often several times every day, and in the best of 'nix traditions, it only does exactly what it should do! Very Happy

I run/use calcurse 4.3 and like it a lot. The only thing I run X for is to run a browser (no window decorations, no tray ...etc., browser maximised, where both X and browser run under restricted userid). cli/textual is very quick, especially if you use tmux and set up a tput based menu system. From X I ctrl-alt-F4 to switch to console, 'l' to mount a ext (Linux) partition where my calendar resides, 'c' to start calcurse in a new tmux window. Calcurse uses a simple text file, so easily edited, or shared across devices (ssh in and attach to the tmux session). I prefer keeping my diary/calendar/events/tasks local rather than utilising a online alternative.

If your minixcal is in /root/.packages you are probably running the""real" thing, but the line in /root/.jwm-tray doesn't mean much.
In my puppy minixcal is just a wrapper script for igucal, a minixcal derivate created by forum member Iguleder (he used the same word "ancient" when he complained about minixcal). Main difference is that igucal is not hardcoded to lauch osmo, instead it runs /usr/local/bin/defaultcalendar, therefore the button on top reads "Personal organizer" and not "Launch Osmo Calendar".

Still another fake minixcal in Dpup Strech. Here minixcal is a script launching yad --calendar, probably the simplest of many ways to launch the GTK calendar widget.

MochiMoppel, my memory is not good enough to remember the details, but I think that minixcal was not part of the clock in the tray in my remastered Lucid. I had an older dPup where I used Minixcal, so I found a text somewhere about how to add it to the tray clock, using the .jwm-tray file.
I have Osmo installed, but I don't use it. I prefer the old tcl/tk-based Ical calender, so I'll convert to Igucal, thank you for mentioning it. Very Happy

I have minixcal in /usr/X11R7/bin/

My /root/.jwm-tray:
Code:
<JWM>
   <Tray autohide="false" insert="right" x="0" y="-1" border="1" width="0" height="28" layer="above" layout="horizontal" halign="left" valign="bottom" >
      <!-- Additional TrayButton attribute: label -->
      <TrayButton label="Menu" icon="mini-dog.xpm">root:3</TrayButton>
      <TrayButton popup="Show Desktop" icon="mini-desktop.xpm">showdesktop</TrayButton>
      <TrayButton popup="Screenshot" icon="shot.png">exec:shot1</TrayButton>
      <TrayButton popup="NoteCase" icon="notecase16.xpm">exec:notecase</TrayButton>
      <TrayButton popup="pFind" icon="find.png">exec:pfind</TrayButton>
       
      <!-- Additional Pager attributes; width, height -->
      <Pager/>
      <!-- Additional TaskList attribute: maxwidth -->
      <TaskList maxwidth="200"/>
      <Dock/>
      <!-- Additional Swallow attribute: height -->
      <Swallow name="xload" width="32">
xload -nolabel -fg red -hl white -bg "gray45"
      </Swallow>
      <Clock format="%H:%M:%S">minixcal</Clock>
   </Tray>
</JWM>


I tried to click the clock with minixcal removed from the code. Nothing happened at all, so it does the job when it is included in the code.

Not that it's important, but %H:%M:%S can be summarized as %R.

Seconds are useless in a general non scientific human context, hence %R. Wink
Plus date's seconds update calls upon the kernel 60 times a minute, which
can be a concern on old boxes.
