Any ideas, Shane? Does anyone know of any variations between 'standard' ical format and the version that Apple has implemented? Do all .ics files fail the same way? Could you maybe send along the .ics file that led to this output, if this one in particular caused problems? Trying your script (with amended file path) is also failing for me right now, but not the same way because I need to sort out the dependencies on my Mac and there are two many temporal bugs to bother reporting at the moment. Once I get all the dependencies in place I'll try again... -- Chris Devers Have you ever seen Jack Valenti & John Ashcroft at the same time?
