NAME

       xcalev - load xcal calendar files with regular dates

SYNTAX

       xcalev [ -r ][ -x ][ -f file ][ -d dir ][ year ]

DESCRIPTION

       Xcalev  is  used  to preload the calendar files for the xcal program with regular events in your life.  It reads lines from a file (usually
       called regular stored in your Calendar directory.  Each line in the file contains three fields separated by spaces or tabs,  these  are:  a
       month name, a day in the month and some text.  For example:

	    December 25    Christmas
	    Dec 31	   New Year's Eve

       The  order  of  the  month  and the day are optional, the program deduces the day by looking whether the string contains an initial numeric
       character or not.  The year defaults to the current year unless the program is given a year number as an argument.   This  year	cannot	be
       abbreviated to two digits because xcal
	deals with years from year zero.  There's a rough validity check on this.

       The  string  from  the  data  line is inserted in the appropriate file and will appear in your xcal date strip.	Nothing will happen if the
       string already exists in the file for that day.	This means that it's safe to run xcalev at any time, only the strings that have altered in
       the regular file will be updated.

       To help with entering the same event for a number of days in one month, you can give a day range with a hyphen

       If  you	supply the -r option, xcalev will delete all the matching strings that it finds in the appropriate daily file.	So, if you want to
       make radical changes to the regular file, you should run xcalev with the -r option to remove all the current entries from  one  year,  edit
       the regular file and run xcalev to reload things.

OPTIONS

       The -r option makes xcalev delete rather than append entries.

       The -x option makes xcalev operate with Calendar files that are compatible with the xcalendar program.

       The  -f	switch is followed by a filename gives an alternative name for the regular file.  If the filename does not start with a slash or a
       dot, then the name of your Calendar directory will be prepended to it.

       The -d switch is followed by a directory name and specifies an alterative location for your Calendar directory.	 Your  home  directory	is
       prepended if the name doesn't start with a slash or a dot.

FILES

       $HOME/Calendar/*

       xc<dd><Mon><Year>  A data file is day, Month in three letter format and the year.

       xy<Year> 	  A year directory.

       xw<Day>		  A data file for the weekly code, one per day.

CAL(1)							    BSD General Commands Manual 						    CAL(1)

NAME

     cal, ncal -- displays a calendar and the date of easter

SYNOPSIS

     cal [-jy] [[month] year]
     cal [-j] -m month [year]
     ncal [-jJpwy] [-s country_code] [[month] year]
     ncal [-Jeo] [year]

DESCRIPTION

     The cal utility displays a simple calendar in traditional format and ncal offers an alternative layout, more options and the date of easter.
     The new format is a little cramped but it makes a year fit on a 25x80 terminal.  If arguments are not specified, the current month is dis-
     played.

     The options are as follows:

     -J      Display Julian Calendar, if combined with the -e option, display date of easter according to the Julian Calendar.

     -e      Display date of easter (for western churches).

     -j      Display Julian days (days one-based, numbered from January 1).

     -m month
	     Display the specified month.

     -o      Display date of orthodox easter (Greek and Russian Orthodox Churches).

     -p      Print the country codes and switching days from Julian to Gregorian Calendar as they are assumed by ncal.	The country code as deter-
	     mined from the local environment is marked with an asterisk.

     -s country_code
	     Assume the switch from Julian to Gregorian Calendar at the date associated with the country_code.	If not specified, ncal tries to
	     guess the switch date from the local environment or falls back to September 2, 1752.  This was when Great Britain and her colonies
	     switched to the Gregorian Calendar.

     -w      Print the number of the week below each week column.

     -y      Display a calendar for the specified year.

     A single parameter specifies the year (1 - 9999) to be displayed; note the year must be fully specified: ``cal 89'' will not display a calen-
     dar for 1989.  Two parameters denote the month and year; the month is either a number between 1 and 12, or a full or abbreviated name as
     specified by the current locale.  Month and year default to those of the current system clock and time zone (so ``cal -m 8'' will display a
     calendar for the month of August in the current year).

     A year starts on Jan 1.

HISTORY

     A cal command appeared in Version 5 AT&T UNIX.  The ncal command appeared in FreeBSD 2.2.6.

AUTHORS

     The ncal command and manual were written by Wolfgang Helbig <helbig@FreeBSD.org>.

BUGS

     The assignment of Julian--Gregorian switching dates to country codes is historically naive for many countries.
