problems with diary, appointments, and european-calendar

[Joe Corneli]

This is my diary/appointment configuration. It was working just recently -- I 
mean,
I could write down appointments in my diary and get reminders about them.  Not 
so
after some small rearrangements to my .emacs & load files.  But like I said, 
this is
the entire calendar/diary/appointment section.  

(add-hook 'write-file-hooks 'time-stamp)
(setq diary-file "~/.diary.txt")
(setq diary-display-hook 'fancy-diary-display)
(add-hook 'today-visible-calendar-hook 'calendar-mark-today)
(setq european-calendar-style t)
(require 'appt)
(setq appt-issue-message t)
(setq appt-message-warning-time 1)
(setq appt-display-interval 1)
(setq appt-visible t)
(setq appt-msg-window nil)
(display-time)
;; makes "d" in the calendar reload the appt list.
(add-hook 'diary-hook 'appt-make-list)
(diary 0)

Next issue: the function european-calendar (not available if emacs is started 
with
commandline options -q --no-site-file) doesn't appear to do anything.
