Title: Gcal, the GNU calendar program


Version: 1.00

Entered-date: 09MAR96


Description: Gcal displays both month and year calendar sheets,

             eternal holiday lists and fixed date warning lists;

             in many ways.  The program 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:


             * 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 current days of year, concatenated current

                 days of month and year.

             * Output of fiscal years.

             * Output of lists or ranges of months or years.

             * 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 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.


             The package contains the ANSI-C sources (with some POSIX

             extensions), and includes several example reminder/appointment

             files.
