OK, that means one vote for cycle. Do your consider it to be better
than mencal?

My experience says that you are well advised if you do it yourself if it
is really important for you. Otherwise it is very seldom that somebody
comes out of nowhere.

I'm fine with keeping software which has real users and no important
bugs. There is no reason to kick something if there are no obvious
problems.
However, do you agree just to Suggest cylce and keep the only Depends
on pcalendar?

On the other hand if it is the only reason to not use a certain end user
application because it is written in some programming language this will
end up in severe flaws at some point in time.
Kind regards and thanks for your input
