- 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

- * 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.
-
