No, I just bought a batch of NOS-apps off Ebay (MPG, ActionNames, RCU...)
and Isaacs Dates was there in the original box with manual.

Okay, then the paid-for Isaac's beats TimeTraxx. And any additional bang
can be added by my new Action Names.

What does it do, are there screenshots online somewhere?

It adds a new Dates view, which shows a whole month and every day is a
line, the dates show as time-bands in each days line - so you immediately
see how many dates you have, when and how long they are. Tapping a date
gives you time & title, and you can check any additional notes and see who
else is involved in that date. Plus you can display if a day has to-dos or
anniversaries. Quick entry of new dates, too.
Seems nice enough and doesn't replace anything - you can always use the
build-in views.
Info: The manual gives this website http://www.rindle.de , but that's not
really satisfying. The wayback machine has the old company website. In
English, they offered only Isaac's Dates and Isaac's Names (see

). In German Rindle & Partners offered those two in German plus
