Re: Recurrence rule question

[Mark Baker <distobj@xxxxxxx>]

Some days, I wish we would have just decided to do recurrence rules
procedurally (via a script) rather than declaratively.

I've personally implemented iCalendar recurrence rules, and I tell ya, I
would much rather have implemented a script processor.  8-/

Sorry I can't help with your specific question.  I'm better at going the
other direction.  8-)
