Mystery Alarm with No Attachment

I just downloaded "NoAlarm" from FreewarePalm. Supposed to eliminate alarms for set time period (movie, restaurant, meeting, etc). It ALSO FINDS ALL ALARMS.

Though I was at first disappointed that it DID NOT silence a test alarm, it did detect test alarms SET, and the CardBackup set for 5PM.

More importantly it did "find" an alarm for 10/31/04 and listed "Date and Time" as the app (???).
My only Calendar/to do event was in Agendus for "Halloween" with no alarm set.

How do I delete that thing? What caused it? I also looked in the stock Palm apps for Calendar and tasks. Nada.

Addendum: May have figured it out . . . I set an Agendus alarm for 10/31/04, and it registered with this app. I then "trash-canned it" and the app STILL found it. Then I purged . . . and record was gone. Somewhere I've set a test alarm for 10/31 and although deleted it's still registering. I'd have to delete all upcoming events to clear it, so I won't bother with it . . . 10/31 will be here soon enough.

Interesting application though . . . although it didn't STOP an alarm from ringing, it is a good "detective" to list ALL alarms on the handheld and what app is controlling them.
 
The author of this program wrote me back twice and has given me the following which should interest EVERYONE.

The 10/31/04 "alarm" is the system command for switching DST (DAYLIGHT SAVINGS TIME)!! No errant record at all.

Very cool.

I am going to keep this application, partially because of how terrific ErwinSchomburg is and how attentive he was to an email from someone he never met - and it's FREEWARE for heaven's sake! Doesn't get any better than that.

I'm working on making it actually stop an alarm (which I haven't actually tested with Agendus yet - it was with another alarm app) but as a REGULATOR and "sentry" for alarms actually set -- it's worth the 20k footprint!!

I recommend it.
