I doubt it. It took me a while to find that I had to press 'Edit' to
type anything at all. Having made one entry, I couldn't find any way to
add another. According to the instructions, double-clicking on a date
should do it, but nothing happened, the first entry was still displayed.
I opened the filter box and then it wouldn't close, and after clicking
various other things without effect, it hung and wouldn't redraw.
I closed it and tried again, the first entry had been saved and could
be edited, but it behaved the same and I could add no further entries.
I think 'doesn't work at all' is the only realistic description.
Certainly completely unusable.
