An earlier release, 4.2, was not distributed publicly. For those of you not familiar with "pcal", it allows you to create personalized calendars using PostScript. The new features in this release include: . An option to generate files for use with the UNIX calendar(1) utility. . Options to move the small previous and following month calendars to different boxes, or to suppress them entirely. . Notes text may appear in any selected empty box. . Ability to change both the note font and size via command line options. . An option to change the title printed in the "Notes" box. . An option to change the values used to shade empty boxes and/or gray date numbers. . An option to print debug information for "pcal" hackers. . Keyword "nearest" for use in statements like "workday nearest every 10th". . Date keywords for moon phases (i.e. "all full_moon in ..."). . An automatic macro definition "whole_year" when printing whole year calendars which can be useful in creating conditional statements. . The "include" directive may include the format specifier "%y" which will be replaced by the last two digits of the current year. . The keyword "if" may be used as a synonym for "ifdef". . A preprocessor keyword "elif" has been added. . An error message is generated when no wild card is matched. . Adjusted date sizes for small and medium calendars for better legibility. . Improved search path for moon files. . Format specifiers for alternate week counting as some companies use. . Format specifiers to adjust the date. . Improvments in VMS support including a "Descrip.mms" file. . A moon file for 1992. . Several bug fixes. See the "ReadMe" file (1st file in archive below) for complete details. As usual, this release of "pcal" has been a team effort.
