You might check out pilotyid (no joke:
http://www.pilotyid.com/collection.php?cat=1 ) and see if they have
something that meets your needs. The Mac version of Palm Desktop came with
some holiday plugin-type date packs, so I'm using their "Jewish Holidays"
one, as well as their US Holidays one. They also have Islamic Holidays,
Christian Holidays, and Christian Orthodox Holidays. I would have thought
this was available in the Windows Palm Desktop as well-- ??


I've got the Palm holidays list -- it's just that somehow, when I bought
my new palm and synced it to my old information, a bunch of holidays got
duplicated, and a bunch disappeared. (I lost Easter, for example, but
had Memorial Day in 3 times!)

I'll get it up to date now that I know stuff is missing; the problem is
that when I reload it, it will duplicate everything that's already in
there, so I have to take the time to remove the duplicates or my monthly
calendar printout starts filling up.
