Looking for a Calendar Program

I use a Win program called Calendar Creator, one of only two Win programs I still use, every thing else I now do under Puppy.

Most Linux calendar programs have a 'week' view that is:

|Sun|Mon|Tue|Wed|Thur|Fri|Sat|
---------------------------------------------
8:00| | | | | | | |
---------------------------------------------
9:00| | | | | | | |
---------------------------------------------

and on.

What I need is:

Oct 14 to Oct 20
--------------------------------------------
Sun | Event |
10/14| |
---------------------------------------------
Mon | Event |
10/15 | Event |
--------------------------------------------

and on.

I then print these multiple weeks per page. On 8.5 x 11 it is:


W W
E E
E E
K K
1 2

W W
E E
E E
K K
3 4

On 11 x 17 it is:

W W W W
E E E E
E E E E
K K K K
1 2 3 4

W W W W
E E E E
E E E E
K K K K
5 6 7 8

Has any one come a cross a Linux calendar program that will do this?

I do not need fancy pictures, I can get by with one color. I do have repeating events as well as one time events.

Calendar Creator allows you to have a 'Start Time' that will show up in the event as:

15:00 Dr Appointment

I do not publish this to any web page or share it with any work group.

I've been playing with this little guy but you'll need perl to use it. I'm not sure if it's what you need though.

I know you mentioned that you weren't after a web-based calendar, and don't know if you ever resolved this, but I wonder if wcal could be configured to your specs?

Our SATLUG group has started an open source Calendar Project. I will try and update on what is happening at each major milestone.

Right now we are looking at a cross platform web-browser program. We plan to do a first look at the web page this Saturday at the local computer show.
