-
- + Happy Birthday Unix FAQ. The Unix FAQ is now over 5 years old!
- + Everyone who ever contributed to this FAQ is encouraged to go out
- + and have a piece of birthday cake. Unfortunately, I can't distribute
- + the cake by email, so you'll have to make your own. :-)
- +
- + This document was one of the first collections of Frequently Asked
- + Questions. It was originally compiled in July 1989.
- +
- I took over the maintenance of this list. Almost all of the work
- (and the credit) for generating this compilation was done by
- Steve Hayman.

- + Subject: Why does calendar produce the wrong output?
- + From: tmatimar@isgtec.com (Ted Timar)
- + Date: Thu Sep 8 09:45:46 EDT 1994
- +
- + 2.16) Why does calendar produce the wrong output?
- +
- + Frequently, people find that the output for the Unix calendar
- + program, 'cal' produces output that they do not expect.
- +
- + The calendar for September 1752 is very odd:
- +
- + September 1752
- + S M Tu W Th F S
- + 1 2 14 15 16
- + 17 18 19 20 21 22 23
- + 24 25 26 27 28 29 30
- +
- + This is the month in which the US (the entire British Empire actually)
- + switched from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar.
- +
- + The other common problem people have with the calendar program is
- + that they pass it arguments like 'cal 9 94'. This gives the calendar
- + for September of AD 94, NOT 1994.
