probably the problem is that Oz is not "user interface oriented" in visual
tools and classes to manipulate real world objects.

I followed another way that is to build up a user interface with VisualBasic
or Smalltalk (where you can find all the Time/Date classes) and communicate
to the "Oz server" only the allowed or forbidden domains (calendars are
expressed in timeunits).

That is Oz sees the constrain problem in a predigested way where only
numbers and very basic strutcures are allowed to express the problem.
