I have just tried to import an iCalendar export from an Org-mode file

done this and it failed with a rather unhelpful "Import operation
failed [OK]" error message.
I tried editing the .ics export file and found that changing the
VERSION: string from 2.0 to 1.0 allowed the import to succeed. This
is good enough as a work around for my very occasional needs.
Well, I am not surprised, I wrote the exporter without looking at any
specifications, just what I could figure out from looking at the
icalendar files produced by Apples iCal program. The I tweaked the
output until iCal would read that file. If there is anyone knowing
more about the icalendar format, it would be great to improve this.
Of course, I can simply say VERSION: 1.0.....
