     CAL(1)                                                     CAL(1)

     NAME
          cal - print calendar

     SYNOPSIS
          cal [ month ] [ year ]

     DESCRIPTION
          Cal prints a calendar.  Month is either a number from 1 to
          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 sep 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.
