cal − display a calendar

SYNOPSIS

cal [ [ month ] year ]

DESCRIPTION

cal displays a calendar for the specified year.  If a month is also specified, a calendar for that month only is displayed.  If neither is specified, a calendar for the present month is printed. 

year can be between 1 and 9999.  Be aware that ‘cal 78’ refers to the early Christian era, not the 20th century.  Also, the year is always considered to start in January, even though this is historically naive. 

month is a number between 1 and 12. 

The calendar produced is that for England and her colonies. 

Try September 1752.
