SYNOPSIS

9       gcal [[Option...] [%Date] [@File...]] [Command]
10

DESCRIPTION

12       Gcal  is a program similar the standard calendar programs BSD-`cal' and
13       `calendar'.
14
15       Gcal displays  hybrid  and  proleptic  Julian  and  Gregorian  calendar
16       sheets,  respectively, for one month, three months or a whole year.  It
17       also displays eternal holiday  lists  for  many  countries  around  the
18       globe,  and  features a very powerful creation of fixed date lists that
19       can be used for reminding purposes.  Gcal can calculate various  astro‐
20       nomical  data  and  times  of  the Sun and the Moon for at pleasure any
21       location, precisely enough for most civil purposes.  Gcal supports some
22       other  calendar systems, for example the Chinese and Japanese calendar,
23       the Hebrew calendar and the civil Islamic calendar, too.
24
25       If Gcal is started without any options or commands, a calendar  of  the
26       current month is displayed.
27
28       If  the  calendar  of a definite year is wanted, the year must be fully
29       specified,
30       e.g.:  gcal 94
31       displays a year calendar of the year 94, not of the year 1994.
32
33       If two arguments are given in the  command  part,  the  first  argument
34       denotes the month and the second argument denotes the year. In case any
35       illegal commands are given running Gcal , the program will use internal
36       defaults.
