On some UNIX® systems, you can display a simple (but useful) calendar on your terminal, simply by using the command 'cal'. This produces output such as:
June 2001
S M Tu W Th F S
1 2
3 4 5 6 7 8 9
10 11 12 13 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28 29 30
By default, the command displays a calendar for the current month. You may specify a year, in which case the command displays a calendar for the whole year. There are additional options - type 'man cal' for more details.
