xcal is the name it has on the net (and X11/contrib), and it has been
in the rtbin in the SIPB locker for months, so people with sipb before
calendar in their paths would have already had trouble. If his xcal is
the only thing in the calendar/bin directories, then people should
just attach it before sipb if they want that one.
I'll also note that the vax version in the calendar locker
doesn't seem to work, and that there isn't a decmips or rs/6000
version... [ah, I see the problem - his hasn't been recompiled since
May 1990, so it doesn't have X libraries that support xauth; as far as
I'm concerned, that qualifies as not working.]

ps. If Craig's is a motif version, why doesn't the name begin with m?
:-) And the other complaint, of course is that if it's a motif
version, I can't use it off campus, whereas xcal is in contrib on the
R5 tape (and earlier, I think) and so is more commonly available.
