This is pcal as posted some time ago. However, the "for" loops didn't always
use their arguments. I found this when I tried to allow a full-year to be
dumped at once. I'd get through 3 months and *wham*: stack overflow.
Surprise!
Anyways, I put in a couple of pop's, modified the command line a little
and hopefully, the man page enough, and here it is. The accompanying file
called "ReadMe.orig" came with the original distribution as README and
states this program is copyrighted but with permission to modify and
redistribute.
Note: if I had the time, I'd pull the PostScript code back out of the
program and include a PS prolog file; as is, this is ugly and a little
more difficult to modify. Ah well. It may be easier sometimes to include
log prolog inside the C program, but it's an awful lot easier to modify
the prolog when it's a separate file. Whatever.

Additional note: This version incorporates several new command-line options
and related features implemented by Ed Hand and myself. Read the 'man' page
for further details.
