Cal is similar to the UNIX command of the same name which prints a
small calendar to the console.

The syntax for Cal is      Cal [month] [year]

where [month] is any written month (January, February, etc.)
[month] may be shortened to the first 3 unique characters

and

[year] is any year from 1592 to 9999 (assuming no changes
are made in the next 8000 years or so).

Any [year] in the 20th century may be shortened to the final decade.


For example:  Cal January 1988

can be shortened to

	      Cal Jan 88



Also, typing  Cal  without any parameters, will print a calendar
of the month the system date is currently set to and it will
highlight the current day as well.
