+SUMMARY="A calendar and scheduling application for the command line"
+DESCRIPTION="calcurse is a calendar and scheduling application for the \
+command line. It helps keep track of events, appointments and everyday tasks. \
+A configurable notification system reminds user of upcoming deadlines, the \
+curses based interface can be customized to suit user needs and a very \
+powerful set of command line options can be used to filter and format \
+appointments, making it suitable for use in scripts."
