Troppo?  You sound like a house master we had at boarding school 50 
years ago!  :-)

Anyway, thanks for this pointer.  It sounds rather like cal40.zip 
which was coincidentally mentioned in another group I saw this evening 
(see my response "Re: print monthly calendar ..." cross-posted here) 
which looks like the bee's knees too, if not the duck's nuts.  But not 
sure if cal40 also does that piping thing, though it wouldn't be 
unusual to find it will.

I must say that it's a pleasure to find a 3622 byte program (cal.com 
in that cal_gb.zip you mentioned below) that does something useful in 
this day and age.  (Mind you, it dates from 1989, so don't know if it 
will be well behaved under WinXP until I try.)
