G'luck, Peter -- When you are not looking at it, this sentence is in Spanish.
It's different from calendar(1) in that it allows different advance warning times for all events and in that is distinguishes between birthdays (giving messages like: John Doe is 36 years old in 12 days) and events (Holidays in 8 days). It does have an overlap with calendar, but I think this overlap is not large enough to regard calendar(1) and birthday(1) as the same programs. Niek
