iCalMaker has been updated to version 1.8.5

The update includes:

• Updates for 10.4 (Tiger):
• iCalMaker displays the calendars available to iCal
• Corrected a problem with export to iCal
• Corrected a problem with direct import from iCal
• Updated the esellerate sales engine
• Fixed a bug that was causing the ‘mail’ window not to close when ‘add to calendar’ was selected (iCalMaker can send appointments to Apple Mail, Eudora, Powermail, Mailsmith and Entourage)
• Fixed a number of minor bugs
• Some general improvements to the code base (this is in preparation for some of the changes in version 2)
• Recompiled using xcode 2.0

iCalMaker is available from MMISoftware (http://www.mmisoftware.co.uk) and is a 548 kb download (http://www.mmisoftware.co.uk/downloads/icalmaker.dmg.sit). A fully functional trail version of the software is available, and an activation code can be purchased for $34.95.
