Thanks for your clarification.  Unfortunately, Lotus Notes seems to 
convert all recurring events (even the ones with very simple repetition 
rules, e.g. weekly) into RDATE recurring events upon export.  So that's 
really annoying if one uses Kronolith and has to arrange a series of 
events with Lotus Notes users.
