   What were you trying to do?
	   I am trying to find a calendar of 1993.

   What's wrong:
	   The "cal 93" command does not give me the correct calendar!

There is no bug here.  By typing ``cal 93'' instead of ``cal 1993,'' you
are asking for the calender for the year 93, not 1993.  This is
described in the man page.

P.S. There used to be a program in the sipb locker called cal that is
just like cal except it prepended "19" to two-digit year numbers.  It
was decided that this a stupid waste of disk space, and consequently
removed.
