1 PCAL
        Pcal  generates  PostScript  to produce landscape or  portrait
    orientated calendars for  any  month  and  year.  The defaults for
    month and year are the current month and year.

        VMS Version
        Execution format:
    
            pcal [options]m yy] [n]

        If a file named calendar.dat  resides  in  the  caller's  home
    directory, it  will  be  searched  for  lines  with  leading dates
    matching the requested  month  and year (current by default).  Any
    text following the date  will be printed on the calendar under the
    appropriate day of the month.   Dates in the calendar.dat file may
    consist  of  a  numeric or alpha  month  (at  least  the  first  3
    characters  for  month  names)  followed  by  a  numeric  day  and
    optionally  followed  by  a year.  Any non-numeric  character  may
    separate numeric dates.  Holidays may be flagged by  following the
    date immediately with '*';  this will cause the date to be printed
    in gray.  Lines in the calendar.dat file consisting of "year xxxx"
    (where  xxxx  is a numeric year) can be used to set the  year  for
    following entries.  This assumes that the following entries do not
    contain a year;  any date entries containing year information will
    set the remembered year to  that year.  Comments ('#' through end-
    of-line) are permitted.

2 parameters
  mm yy n
        "mm" and "yy"  are numeric values of the month (1-12) and year
    (0-99) (i.e., July 1990  would  be 7 90).  If you just include the
    "yy" option, an entire 12  months  of calendars will be generated.
    A specific month can be produced  by including the "mm" parameter.
    The  "n"  parameter will produce the "n"  consectutive  months  of
    calendars starting with the requested month.

2 -e
        Print an  empty  calendar.    Do  not  print  entries  from  a
    calendar.dat file.

2 -f <FILE>
        Directs pcal to use the  file name [1m<FILE>[m as the input file in
    place  of the  default  calendar.dat  file  in  the  callers  home
    directory.
2 -o <FILE>
        Directs pcal to write the PostScript calendar into [1mFILE[m.
2 -r
        This will cause  the  output  to  come  out  in  portrait mode
    instead of landscape mode.
2 -s
        This will  cause  Saturdays  to be printed in black instead of
    gray.
2 -"S"
        This will cause  Saturdays  and Sundays to be printed in black
    instead of gray.
2 -t <FONT>
        This option can be used  to  change  the  font  the  title  is
    printed  with  (ie.    pcal  -tTimes-Roman).      The  default  is
    Times-Bold.
2 -d <FONT>
        This option is the same as  -t  except  that  the font used to
    print the day numbers is changed.
2 CAVEATS
        The original PostScript code  to  generate  the  calendars was
    written by Patrick Wood (Copywrite  (c)  1987  by  Patrick Wood of
    Pipeline  Associates, Inc.), and authorized for  modification  and
    redistribution.    The  calendar.dat  file  inclusion  code    was
    originally written in "bs(1)" by Bill Vogel of  AT&T.    Patrick's
    original  PostScript  was  modified  and enhanced several times by
    others  whose names  have  regrettably been lost.  Ken Keirnan  of
    Pacific Bell assembled the original "C" version upon which this is
    based;  additional modifications and enhancements were the work of
    Joseph P. Larson, Ed Hand,  and Andrew W. Rogers.  This  VMS  HELP
    file was written by Richard Dyson.
