Description:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Calendar is an in-game calendar to help you keep track of events.
Use it to track raid times with your friends, or upcoming festivals.

The events in this calendar are (by default) shared across ALL characters 
in your account, making it easier for you to see events from any of 
your toons.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installation:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Install by unziping the FrostyPlugins folder to:
My Documents\The Lord of the Rings Online\Plugins\FrostyPlugins

Note: This plugin depends on the Turbine Libraries.
If you do not have the Turbine libaries installed, you will need
to install them as well.

Recommend installing using LOTRO Plugin Compendium to manage updates & dependencies.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Use
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Plugins can then be loaded / unloaded via the plugin manager, 
either in the character selection screen or in the game 
(menu => system (do not press, hold only mouse over) => extensions) 
The window appears at the top in the middle and is very transparent, 
so you can easily see it ;-)
