43 | A single parameter specifies the year (1 - 9999) to be displayed; |
| 44 | note the year must be fully specified: ``cal 89'' will | |
| 45 | .B not | |
| 46 | display a calendar for 1989. | |
| 47 | Two parameters denote the month (1 - 12) and year. | |
| 48 | If no parameters are specified, the current month's calendar is | |
| 49 | displayed. | |
| 50 | .PP | |
| 51 | A year starts on Jan 1. | |

53 | The Gregorian Reformation is assumed to have occurred on 3 September |
| 54 | 1752. | |
| 55 | By this time, most countries had recognized the reformation (although | |
| 56 | a few did not recognize it until the early 1900's.) | |
| 57 | From 3 September 1752 through 13 September 1752 was eliminated by | |
| 58 | the reformation, so the calendar for that month is a bit unusual. |
