An application program in the form of an electronic
calendar, commonly used for highlighting dates and scheduling appointments. Some
calendar programs resemble wall calendars, displaying dates in blocks labeled
with the days of the week; others display dates day by day and enable the user
to enter appointments, notes, and other memoranda. A day-of-the-week type of
calendar program could,
for example, be used to find out that Christmas 2003 will be on a Saturday. Depending on its capabilities, such a program might cover only the current century, or it might cover hundreds of years and even allow for the change .
A calendar/scheduler program might show blocks of dates or, like an appointment book, single days divided into hours or half hours, with room for notes. Some programs allow the user to set an alarm to go off at an important point in the schedule. Other programs can coordinate the calendars of different people on the same network so that a person entering an appointment into his or her calendar also enters the appointment into a colleague’s calendar
