>From 7.x onwards as well you can also achieve the "holy grail" of nth
instances of a day of a month as well.

For instance, "full last friday every month" or "skip last friday
every month" - under v6.x you could sort of get it using "full -1
friday every -1 month" etc. (Interesting to note that in v7 if you had
a v6 style override it would work but if you tried to edit the
resource it would fail until you pulled out the v6 override.)

If you're using a Windows nwadmin you can also enter the override by
turning off the "View schedules as calendars" option, although I've
noted some problems in several versions of 7.x where if you then add
another ad-hoc override via the calendar view it clobbers the rolling
override previously established.  :(
