-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
This is to re-announce the release of v3.4 of cal by Alex Mathulich
based on the traditional Unix cal program. The first announcement
did not have the correct location of the file.
This version has been ported and running under MSDOS and OS/2 for several years
now and finally ported back to Unix as of version 3.4.
Enhancements include:
* Hilights today's date when displaying a monthly calendar.
* Displays an optional user-definable list of `special day'
descriptions (like appointments) to the right of the monthly
calendar display. Cal can be set optionally to ignore appointments
older than the current day. Next month's appointments are shown if
there is room to do so. Multiple appointment data files may also
be specified on the commandline.
* You can specify your own appointment and color definition files on the
commandline, or use the defaults.
* Date descriptions can display "years since" a given year, useful for
birthdays and anniversaries.
* Completely configurable colors -- eight separate color attributes.
* Under DOS/OS2, no ANSI driver needed for colors, and the output
may be redirected anywhere, just like the unix version. However,
ANSI color control may be enabled (e.g. for Linux console) with a
#define in the source code.
* Commandline-compatible with unix `cal' command, but with several
enhanced switch settings.
The file cal-3.4.tar.gz can be found at sunsite and tsx-11.
