Linux Software Map: The GNU cal and calendar program

  • Version: 0.37
  • Entered-date: 1995-10-11
  • Description: Gcal is a calendar utility designed to be a replacement for the UN*X standard calendar programs BSD-`cal' and `calendar'. Gcal displays month-/ year calendars (Gregorian dates, before [1582 | 1752] Julian dates), eternal holiday lists for Gregorian and Julian years and fixed date warning lists; in many ways. Gcal correctly omits the dates that were skipped when the current Gregorian calendar replaced the earlier Julian calendar. Its main advantages over BSD-`cal' and `calendar'
  • are:e: - Some special calendar sheet formats. - Variable number of year calendar sheet blocks. - Adjustable highlighting of holidays and actual day. - Variable starting day of week. - Output of Julian days, concatenated standard days and Julian days. - Output of fiscal years. - Output of month-/ year lists or ranges. - Sorted output of eternal holiday lists, which are generated automatically. - Sorted output of fixed date warning lists in MANY ways. - Allows the use of date variables. - Fixed date warning messages can be stored in several files. - Default options can be stored in environment variable GCAL. - Options and commands stored in response files can be preloaded. - Uses either an external pager or a simple built-in pager. - Detailed UN*X man pages and Texinfo reference manual. - German, English and American version. - Supports various computer platforms. - Autoconf(igure) installation technology. - Supports both UN*X short style options and GNU long style options. ANSI-C source with some POSIX extensions. Package includes several example reminder/appointment files.
