DESCRIPTION
The
dtcm_insert utility is non-GUI interface to the &str-XZ; calendar and appointment services,
used to add new appointments to the calendar
Appointments are added one at a time.
Each of the components of an
appointment is specified using one of the command-line options.
Once an appointment
is added, the list of appointments for the specified date
(see the
−d and
−v options) is displayed.

Specify the name of the target calendar.
Calendar names
typically take the form
user@ hostname, where
user is a user's login name and
hostname is the host machine name.
felix@cat. ]]>If no target calendar is specified,
the calendar defaults to
the current user at the current host machine.

Specify the date for the appointment(s) to be inserted.
The
date is specified using the form
