Well, I am not surprised, I wrote the exporter without looking at any
specifications, just what I could figure out from looking at the
icalendar files produced by Apples iCal program. The I tweaked the
output until iCal would read that file. If there is anyone knowing
more about the icalendar format, it would be great to improve this.
Of course, I can simply say VERSION: 1.0.....
