Introduction
============

APPT II is a library that allows the user to set and view appointments.

APPT II gives a calendar where the user can select a date and then add,
view, edit, delete, or acknowledge appointments or reminders.
(But NOT control alarms.)

APPT II is a library written in system RPL.

APPT II works on all versions of the HP48 (S/SX/G/GX).

APPT II is based on HP's APPT program.
