     NAME
          calendar - reminder service

     SYNOPSIS
          calendar [-]

     DESCRIPTION
          calendar consults the file calendar in the current directory
          and prints out lines that contain today's or tomorrow's date
          anywhere in the line.  Most reasonable month-day dates such
          as Dec. 7, december 7, 12/7, etc., are recognized, but not 7
          December.  On weekends tomorrow extends through Monday.

          When an argument is present, calendar does its job for every
          user who has a file calendar in their login directory and
          sends them any positive results by mail(1).  Normally this
          is done daily by facilities in the Oreo® operating system
          under control of cron(1M).

     EXAMPLE
          If the user has the following line, among other lines
          containing date information, in the file calendar in the
          login directory:

               Monday, September 6 Labor Day Holiday

          typing in

               calendar

          either on the Friday before or on the specified Monday will
          cause this line to be printed on the screen.

     FILES
          /usr/bin/calendar
          /usr/lib/calprog
          /etc/passwd
          /tmp/cal*
          /usr/lib/crontab

     SEE ALSO
          mail(1).

     BUGS
          Your calendar must be public information for you to get
          reminder service.
          calendar's extended idea of tomorrow does not account for
          holidays.
