- Cal is similar to the UNIX command of the same name which prints a
- small calendar to the console.
-
- The syntax for Cal is Cal [month] [year]
-
- where [month] is any written month (January, February, etc.)
- [month] may be shortened to the first 3 unique characters
-
- and
-
- [year] is any year from 1592 to 9999 (assuming no changes
- are made in the next 8000 years or so).
-
- Any [year] in the 20th century may be shortened to the final decade.
-
-
- For example: Cal January 1988
-
- can be shortened to
-
- Cal Jan 88
-
-
-
- Also, typing Cal without any parameters, will print a calendar
- of the month the system date is currently set to and it will
- highlight the current day as well.
