QUICK NOTES ON WHAT'S NEW IN THIS RELEASE:

-a whole slew of bugfixes, working alarm daemon, working dragging/
resizing, preliminary printing through latex, memory leak cleanups,
searching (by regexp), preliminary (and not user-implemented) support
for group scheduling.

Note: I know that the todo list is mostly broken in this release, but I 
wanted to get something out the door.  I'll be working on that hard for
0.9.10.

INTRODUCTION:

KOrganizer aims to be a complete program for organizing your
appointments, contacts, projects, etc.  It is in the same spirit as
similar programs like the now ubiquitous Microsoft Outlook, Starfish
Internet Sidekick, Time & Chaos, etc. (all for the Microsoft Windows
platform, of course.)  Best of all, It reads and writes the vCalendar
file format NATIVELY (please see http://www.imc.org/pdi for more
information), which is now an industry-wide personal data interchange
format.  Because of this, you should be able to move from other modern
PIMs to KOrganizer with relative ease.  Current users of the popular
program ical should definitely take a look at KOrganizer and compare
features.

To install KOrganizer, please read the file INSTALL.  The process is
analogous to other KDE applications.

Documentation is available online from the Help->Contents menu option.


LATEST VERSION: The latest version will be uploaded to the standard kde 
ftp site  (ftp.kde.org) and mirror sites as well. The current version as 
of July 22nd 1998 is 0.9.9.  Mostly, this is a bugfix release, although 
new things (such as preliminary printing support via LaTeX and a *working*
alarm daemon) have been completed.  Please let me know if you you have
any feature requests.

BUGS: Known bugs are listed in the file src/BUGS.  I'll add and remove
bug reports to this file as they come in or get squashed.
