HISTORY
-------
phpEventCalendar was created using the core source thrown together by
Steve Elgersma <elgersma@cs.princeton.edu>.  That code was added to
the current code to create a calendar system that allows a single user
to maintain the contents while allowing an unlimited number of users to view
it.

It has been tweaked here and there, but it works nonetheless.

WHAT IT DOES
------------
It allows for multiple views (month by month, or full year), and quick
jumps to months or years.  As events are added, they show up in the day
as links to generated pages.

These generated pages are extremely basic, but the intention was to allow
for the generation of a basic page for a series of images.  These images
are displayed in a standard table format.

The type and style of the generated page can be easily modified.  The code 
for creating the pages can be found in the new_event.php script under the
"write_event" function.

User access is determined by cookie authentication to a MySQL database.


WHY ANOTHER CALENDAR SYSTEM?
----------------------------
Well, honestly, there aren't many out there.  At least, not many that are
extensible or flexible.  This one isn't all THAT flexible, but the basic
core functions are, and that is what is important.  The rest of the code
is really fluff and page generation code AROUND the core code for the
calendar.

Besides, I needed something I could work with for a particular custom install,
and I am not one who really likes things hugely customized; I like to re-use
code when possible.
