No.  I meant regular Emacs' diary.

I'm still wondering what would be the best approach :

 - working with planner-cyclic
 - or with planner-diary

The second alternative seems to provide more features and the integration with
calendar seems better.  So I'm considering switching back to planner-diary.  

Does anyone have some additional viewpoint on this issue?

Planner diary also seems to provide differentiated ways to deal with public vs.
private appointments via planner-diary-private-file and
planner-diary-public-file.  BTW I would be great if spd.el (Select Planner
Directory) could rely on this feature as soon as it is bundled into
tarball/zipfile/debian package.  Right now spd includes appointments from the
planner-cyclic-diary-file into day pages regardless whether the day pages are
from your private or public planner.
