(*) Renamed to minixcal, the capital X was too annoying...

I'm glad you said that!
I would encourage all Puppy authors to use lower-case letters for executables.
Upper case in directory names is fine, also "internal" executables
-- just the main executable should be lowercase.

My reasons for this are that I "just like it", it's consistent with most everyone
else, and it prevents any potential conflict with Puppy's keywords (which should
always have at least one capital letter).
(this is a hint to MU )

I've downloaded it and will get it into 109 final. Looks great, thanks.

Now this is one nifty program! I didn't even get to the post about 1.1 before I installed it (I installed the first revision) and I like it very much. I've had a hard time getting the yellow date/time banner to come up, and have had to launch the calendar program a lot. This is great! I've installed 1.1 now and look forward to rebooting and using it. Thanks!

Hello,
I noticed something which is not important but should be solved though: In French, months containing é (décembre, février) don't appear in the popup (just d , f )

Invalid UTF-8 string passed to pango_layout_set_text()

Is this due to minixcal or is there something else somewhere which could be properly set?

Thank you a lot for your attention.
