NAME
ccaall, nnccaall - displays a calendar and the date of easter
SYNOPSIS
ccaall [-jjyy] [[month] year]
ccaall [-jj] -mm month [year]
nnccaall [-jjJJppwwyy] [-ss countrycode] [[month] year]
nnccaall [-JJeeoo] [year]
DESCRIPTION
The ccaall utility displays a simple calendar in traditional format and nnccaall
offers an alternative layout, more options and the date of easter. The
new format is a little cramped but it makes a year fit on a 25x80 termi-
nal. If arguments are not specified, the current month is displayed.
The options are as follows:
-JJ Display Julian Calendar, if combined with the -ee option, display
date of easter according to the Julian Calendar.
-ee Display date of easter (for western churches).
-jj Display Julian days (days one-based, numbered from January 1).
-mm month
Display the specified month.
-oo Display date of orthodox easter (Greek and Russian Orthodox
Churches).
-pp Print the country codes and switching days from Julian to Grego-
rian Calendar as they are assumed by nnccaall. The country code as
determined from the local environment is marked with an asterisk.
-ss countrycode
Assume the switch from Julian to Gregorian Calendar at the date
associated with the countrycode. If not specified, nnccaall tries
to guess the switch date from the local environment or falls back
to September 2, 1752. This was when Great Britain and her
colonies switched to the Gregorian Calendar.
-ww Print the number of the week below each week column.
-yy Display a calendar for the specified year.
A single parameter specifies the year (1 - 9999) to be displayed; note
the year must be fully specified: ``cal 89'' will not display a calendar
for 1989. Two parameters denote the month and year; the month is either
a number between 1 and 12, or a full or abbreviated name as specified by
the current locale. Month and year default to those of the current sys-
tem clock and time zone (so ``cal -m 8'' will display a calendar for the
month of August in the current year).
A year starts on Jan 1.

BUGS
The assignment of Julian-Gregorian switching dates to country codes is
historically naive for many countries.
