- This is still another new and improved release of pcal. The changes this
- time are:
-
- 1) -r flag replaced by -l and -p to draw landscape and portrait mode
- calendars respectively.
-
- 2) -s and -S flags replaced by clearer and more flexible mechanism:
- specify "-b DAY" to print all dates falling on weekday DAY in black,
- "-g DAY" to print them in gray. "-[b|g] all" prints all dates in
- the selected color. These options are cumulative: "-b all -g tue"
- prints Tuesdays in gray and all other days in black. Holidays are
- printed in whichever color contrasts with the majority of days.
-
- 3) Command-line flags (except -e and -f) may be specified in the
- date file by including one or more lines of the form
-
- opt <options>
-
- where <options> is one or more valid command-line flags. Any
- flags specified in this manner override the defaults, but in
- turn are overridden themselves by flags specified explicitly on
- the command line (which is why both -l and -p are supported).
- Specifying a flag without an argument on the command line resets
- its value to the program default.
-
- 4) The month and day names are in pcal.c, not in pcalinit.h - so
- anyone attempting to change pcal to use a language other than
- English need only change them in one place (for both printing
- and date/flag parsing).
-
- 5) The usage() message fits in a 24x80 screen (thanks to Jim
- Prescott for suggesting this.)
-
- 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.

- Additional note: This distribution includes a VMS HELP file written by
- Richard Dyson. Countless other people worked on pcal long before me; see
- the ReadMe.orig file and topline comments in pcal.c.
