     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 "Aug. 24," "august 24," "8/24," etc., are recognized, but
          not "24 August" or "24/8."  On weekends "tomorrow" extends
          through Monday.

          When an argument is present, calendar does its job for every
          user who has an entry in the local /etc/passwd file and a
          file named calendar in the login directory and sends them
          any positive results by mail(1).  Normally this is done
          daily by a cron job prepared by the system administrator.


     EXAMPLES
          $ cat calendar
          Jan 31 88 Rosemary's Birthday is on Saturday.
          Feb  1 88 Rosemary's Birthday is tomorrow.
          Feb  8 88 Progress report on proposal is due in one week.
          $
          $ date
          Thu Jan 31 14:49:04 EDT 1988
          $
          $ calendar
          Jan 31 88 Rosemary's Birthday is on Saturday.
          Feb  1 88 Rosemary's Birthday is tomorrow.

          The cat command displays on the screen the contents of the
          users calendar file.  The date command displays the date and
          time.  The calendar command checks the file calendar in the
          current directory and displays any messages for the day.

     FILES
          /usr/lib/calprog    To figure out today's and tomorrow's
                              dates

          /etc/passwd
          /tmp/cal*
