     CAL(1)                                                     CAL(1)

     NAME
          cal - print calendar

     SYNOPSIS
          cal [ month ] [ year ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Cal prints a calendar.  Month is either a number between 1
          and 12, a lower case month name, or a lower case three-
          letter prefix of a month name.  Year can be between 1 and
          9999.  If either month or year is omitted, the current month
          or year is used.  If only one argument is given, and it is a
          number larger than 12, a calendar for all twelve months of
          the given year is produced; otherwise a calendar for just
          one month is printed.  The calendar produced is that for
          England and her colonies.

          Try `cal september 1752'.

     BUGS
          The year is always considered to start in January even
          though this is historically naive.
          Beware that `cal 90' refers to the early Christian era, not
          the 20th century.
