Hi all,

As included below, I have asked Malcolm Bryant if he would like to 
open-source his vCalendar converter software for us to use as a rode 
reference etc. He has agreed and it should be available within the next few 
weeks.

Hi Corey,

I will add some comments to the code and publish as open source.  It will
be within the next week or two.

Hope this helps,
Malcolm
