The cal (48.6) program is convenient, but it's fairly no-frills. If you have a 132-column terminal, or (more importantly) if you have a 132-column line printer, try using the calen program instead.
| calen | The calen program prints out calendars using 132 columns, and draws boxes for each date that are large enough to scribble notes in. The syntax for the calen program is: |
|---|
calenmonth year[length]
The length is the optional number of months you want shown, starting with the specified month (the default number of months is 1). For example:
%calen 6 1965
shows you a calendar for the month of June 1965.
To get the entire year of 1965 (all 12 months), do:
%calen 1 1965 12
The only real reason for using calen is to print out the calendar so you can write on it. But if you have a PostScript printer, forget about calen, since pcal (48.9) is much more powerful.
