NAME
mhc - Message Harmonized Calendaring system

DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the mhc file format. This manual page was written for the Debian GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page.

FIELDS
Mhc file format is based on STD11/RFC822: Standard for the format of ARPA Internet text messages. In mhc file, the following extra header fields are used.

X-SC-Day:
    Date of event in format yyyymmdd. You can specify multiple date with space separated like:
    X-SC-Day: 19990409 19990413

    which means April 9th 1999 and April 13th 1999.

X-SC-Time:
    Time of event in format hh:mm-hh:mm or hh:mm. For event which has no meanings about time, you can leave it empty in this field.

X-SC-Duration:
    Period of event in yyyymmdd-yyyymmdd. You can omit start date or end date, like "19991121-". X-SC-Duration: is used only to limit date specified by X-SC-Day: or X-SC-Cond, so you can't describe event date only by X-SC-Duration:. If X-SC-Duration: is empty, it means no limit.

X-SC-Cond:
    Condition of event date by using following keyword.

    00-31 Day of month.

    1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th Last Week in month.

    X-SC-Cond: Fri 13

X-SC-Alarm:
    Hint for alarm of event. Currently, mhc.el doesn't alaram, but gemcal will pop-up alarm window. It will be useful if you transfer this event to PalmOS. In X-SC-Alarm:, you can specify the number (1 to 99) with suffix such as minute, hour or day. For example,

    X-SC-Alarm: 10 minutes
        Alarm 10 minutes before event.

    X-SC-Alarm: 3 hour
        Alarm 3 hours before event.
