Anyone taken a look at "gcal"?!

gcal -hh

gives a stupendously comprehensive list! It's also larger for that
compared to plain old (BSD) cal:

$ ls -lh $(which gcal)
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 800K Jul 29  2004 /usr/bin/gcal*

$ ls -lh $(which cal)
-rwxr-xr-x  1 root root 15K Mar  1  2007 /usr/bin/cal*

'Bloat' or GNU gone mad?


I'd guess using a custom holidays resource file could get gcal to give a
one-liner NLUGs meets list as "eternal holidays" but I'm overwhelmed
just by first glance at the help!

Next idea...

;-)

One day to go!

(Prolog anyone?)

Cheers,
Martin
