Download a complete calendar and lectionary
‘almanac’ for the liturgical year beginning on
Advent Sunday 2004, and ending on the eve of Advent Sunday
2005.
This almanac is available in a number of formats for Palm
Datebook and for Apple iCal, and for other vCalendar-compatible
calendar applications.
The data is derived from a file supplied by Church House Publishing,
to whom thanks are due. The original files can be found
here,
and are suitable for loading into Microsoft Outlook and
Microsoft Excel.
- Palm Desktop
The file lect-2005.dba is a
Palm Datebook archive file for
Palm
Desktop for Windows. This archive is also available as a
zip file lect-2005.dba.zip
which may be useful to those whose browsers do not like
the dba file. Just download and unzip to get the dba
file. (XP users may have to use a utility such as WinZip
to open the zip archive and drag out the dba file.)
This Datebook Archive file has been created using Palm
Desktop version 4.1.4, the latest version available at
Palm.
I have had reports that it may not load into earlier
versions of Palm Desktop. If you have this problem, you
can import the vCal version (see below).
- Apple iCal
The file lect-2005.ics is a
file for Apple's iCal desktop calendar application. To
load this, first save to your hard disc, then, in iCal,
click on File -> Import, select the default iCal option,
and then choose the file that you saved. You will probably
want to load the data into its own new calendar so that
you can manage it separately. From here you can sync the
calendar to a Palm or other PDA.
- vCalendar
I have also provided a vCalendar
file lect-2005.vcs.
This was initially used to import the data into Palm
Datebook. It may also be useful for importing into other
calendar applications. If you have trouble with the dba
file then this file should import into earlier versions of
Palm Desktop which support vCal import. Import in the same
way (File -> Import, then select 'vCal file', and choose
the .vcs file). You will need to slightly tidy up
afterwards, as it gets the import wrong on the last Sunday
of March and the last Sunday of October -- you will have
to turn the items on those dates into 'all day' events
rather than timed events.
