- "pcal" Version 2.5
-
- This is newest version of "pcal", the Postscript calendar program. This
- version completely replaces both Version 2.3 and the patch to 2.4 recently
- posted to "alt.sources". While I have included the functionality provided
- by the 2.4 patch in this version of "pcal", I have done so in a different way.
-
- In this version, "pcal" supports a feature allowing the user to select which
- day is displyed in the left column, but as a command line option rather than
- as a compile time selection. Use -F<dayname> to make the given day appear as
- the first day of the week. You may place the -F option in your ".calendar"
- file. Overkill perhaps, but it was as easy as allowing only Sunday or Monday.
-
- I have also done some minor cleanup on the Postscript code and a little
- reformatting of the calendar. By making the day numbers slightly smaller, you
- can now fit 9 lines of text into a single day.
-
- One other note: several people have sent me e-mail suggesting that "pcal" be
- released less frequently as changes are made. I'm going to abide by that
- because keeping up with the many changes used to be a problem for me, too.
- So if you have an idea for a change you would like to make to "pcal", please
- send me e-mail first so that I can provide you with the most up-to-date
- sources before you hack up and old cut.

- 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.
