NAME


pscal - generates postscript showing your calendar for given year and month

SYNOPSIS:


pscal [ -Pprinter ] [ -R ] [ -r ] [ -t ] [ -d directory ] [ other printer flags ] [ month
[ year ] ]

DESCRIPTION:


Pscal generates the Postscript showing a calendar for the specified month and year. The
year, if omitted, defaults to the current year. If both month and year are omitted, the
current month is printed. Year can be between 1753 and 9999. The month is a number
between 1 and 12. I can also be a three letter month abbreviation.

The calendar can be loaded with information from the user. The information either comes
in an `Event' file or can be derived from files under the user's Calendar directory should
this exist. The search for this data is as follows, if any of these succeeds the data for
the calendar is taken from that source.

1) The shell variable EFILE may be set to the name of an Event file.

2) An event file called `Event' may exist in the current directory.

3) The file $HOME/.holiday may exist and contain a list of events.

4) The directory $HOME/Calendar (or a different directory specified with the -d
option) may exist containing XCal files.

An event file should consist of lines of the form

month:day:message string

Messages should be 20 characters or less, with no more than 6 messages per day. No spaces
should appear from the beginning of a line until after the second colon. Month and day
should be numbers in the obvious ranges.

OPTIONS


-Pprinter The printer may be specified with the usual -Pprinter syntax.

-r The calendar page is printed in ``landscape'' orientation (the default).

-R The calendar page is printed in ``portrait'' orientation; this yields a slightly
smaller image and may be more suitable for embedding into other documents.

-d directory
Use the given directory instead of $HOME/Calendar.

-t Causes the PostScript to be sent to the standard output, rather than to the
printer. This is useful if you wish to save the output in a file, or if you
want to use options with the lpr(1) command.

-F font Sets the font family for the title text (the month and year).

-f font Sets the font family for the day-of-month numbers.

Other arguments starting with `-' are passed through to lpr(1).

Any argument whose first character is '-' is passed on to lpr. The shell variables
BANNER, LFOOT, CFOOT, and RFOOT become a top centered banner, and left, centered, or right
justified footers respectively. As in:

BANNER="Schedule 1" CFOOT=Preliminary pscal 4 90
