Hi Richard,

Would you be willing to share a screenshot (in private maybe). Your program is 
not wxpython based as I recall correctly. Would you be willing to share the 
relevant code snippets of your implementation so I could look at tranlating 
this to wxpython ?

BTW there is a JAVA based FOSS software for physiotherapists (www.thera-
pi.org) which supposedly has implemented a nifty appointment scheduling 
solution. However it is coded in German mostly if I am correct.

If there is interest I could dig up the relevant code bits and ideas behind 
it.

Regards,
Sebastian
