;;; Commentary:

;;
;; appt.el - visible and/or audible notification of
;;           appointments from diary file.
;;
;;
;; Thanks to  Edward M. Reingold for much help and many suggestions,
;; And to many others for bug fixes and suggestions.
;;
;;
;; This functions in this file will alert the user of a
;; pending appointment based on his/her diary file.  This package
;; is documented in the Emacs manual.
;;
;; To activate this package, simply use (appt-activate 1).
;; A `diary-file' with appointments of the format described in the
;; documentation of the function `appt-check' is required.
;; Relevant customizable variables are also listed in the
;; documentation of that function.
;;
;; Today's appointment list is initialized from the diary when this
;; package is activated.  Additionally, the appointments list is
;; recreated automatically at 12:01am for those who do not logout
;; every day or are programming late.  It is also updated when the
;; `diary-file' (or a file it includes) is saved.  Calling
;; `appt-check' with an argument (or re-enabling the package) forces a
;; re-initialization at any time.
;;
;; In order to add or delete items from today's list, without
;; changing the diary file, use `appt-add' and `appt-delete'.
;;

;; Brief internal description - Skip this if you are not interested!
;;
;; The function `appt-make-list' creates the appointments list which
;; `appt-check' reads.
;;
;; You can change the way the appointment window is created/deleted by
;; setting the variables
;;
;;           appt-disp-window-function
;; and
;;           appt-delete-window-function
;;
;; For instance, these variables could be set to functions that display
;; appointments in pop-up frames, which are lowered or iconified after
;; `appt-display-interval' minutes.

Appointments are checked every `appt-display-interval' minutes.

`appt-audible'

        Default is t.

`appt-message-warning-time'
        Variable used to determine when appointment message
        should first be displayed.

`appt-display-mode-line'
        If non-nil, a generic message giving the time remaining
        is shown in the mode-line when an appointment is due.

`appt-display-interval'
        Interval in minutes at which to check for pending appointments.

`appt-display-diary'
        Display the diary buffer when the appointment list is
        initialized for the first time in a day.

The following variables are only relevant if reminders are being
displayed in a window:

`appt-display-duration'
        The number of seconds an appointment message is displayed.

`appt-disp-window-function'
        Function called to display appointment window.

`appt-delete-window-function'
