Support for iCal format

[hallstein]

As an educational institution, we try to base all our standards on open
formats.

I have a calender, SchoolBell (http://www.schooltool.org/schoolbell/),
which support http://my.url/username/calendar.ics
In SunBird I can edit this calender live, so it updates both on web and
on my client. However I find sunbird a little too new yet, but it is
improving.

Do anybody know if there exist programs/plugins for Outlook that sports
this iCal format?

Outlook natively supports iCal, but can only open individual .ics files directly. For bulk .ics files, you need to load them into Outlook with the File | Import and Export command.

I don't know of any iCalendar subscription based add-in for Outlook.

OK thanks. that won't help me. I was not trying to subscribe. It also
need to be writable, like Sunbird does.

sad to see that nobody could help me on this one. we've now installed
another product for testing: it's called schoolbell calendar server
(http://www.schooltool.org/schoolbell/) which seem to sport most formats.
