NAME

       Gcal - a program for calculating and printing calendars.

SYNOPSIS

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

DESCRIPTION

       Gcal  is a program similar the standard calendar programs BSD-‘cal and
       ‘calendar.

       Gcal displays  hybrid  and  proleptic  Julian  and  Gregorian  calendar
       sheets,  respectively, for one month, three months or a whole year.  It
       also displays eternal holiday  lists  for  many  countries  around  the
       globe,  and  features a very powerful creation of fixed date lists that
       can be  used  for  reminding  purposes.   Gcal  can  calculate  various
       astronomical data and times of the Sun and the Moon for at pleasure any
       location, precisely enough for most civil purposes.  Gcal supports some
       other  calendar systems, for example the Chinese and Japanese calendar,
       the Hebrew calendar and the civil Islamic calendar, too.

       If Gcal is started without any options or commands, a calendar  of  the
       current month is displayed.

       If  the  calendar  of a definite year is wanted, the year must be fully
       specified,

            e.g.:  gcal 94

       displays a year calendar of the year 94, not of the year 1994.

       If two arguments are given in the  command  part,  the  first  argument
       denotes the month and the second argument denotes the year. In case any
       illegal commands are given running Gcal , the program will use internal
       defaults.
