I too like "Calc" and used it for years but have stopped 'cause it doesn't have a nice clear universal date qualifier word to print in narratives.
For example; if I use "Abt" the word "about" (which the whole world understands) appears with the date in narratives. If I use "Cal" or "Calc", whatever I enter as the Displayed option is used to prefix the date in displays as well as reports. This is different than Aft, Abt, Bet, etc. Why can't we have a nice word like "calculated"? Now before the community goes ballistic on me (which some are wont to do), I realize I can enter "calculated" or whatever I want on the Options menu but then that also shows up on the Family, Pedigree, etc. displays which is a bit heavy handed and space consuming.
