iCal is a Web Calendar Server for all flavors of Microsoft Windows. It is an event calendar that can be used for scheduling meetings, events, vacations, menus, or just about anything else. This calendar can be for personal use or for sharing on your Intranet or Internet. iCal has a Web Browser Interface that allows dynamic updating of the Calendar Events. Since iCal comes with a built in Web Server, an existing Web Server environment is not required.
