Using the version of the PostScript calendar which begins:
%!
% PostScript program to draw calendar
% Copyright (C) 1987 by Pipeline Associates, Inc.
% Permission is granted to modify and distribute this free of charge.
% Leap year bug fixed 1/19/88: Alex Pang, UCLA
% The number after /month should be set to a number from 1 to 12.
% The number after /year should be set to the year you want.
% You can change the title and date fonts, if you want.
% We figure out the rest.
% This program won't produce valid calendars before 1800 (weird stuff
% happened in September of 1752)
% To get the calendar out, save this file in a file called "foo",
% and say "lpr foo", voila!
produces a calendar with April 1st on a Thursday, May 1st on a Saturday,
etc, one day in advance for each month. If you are using a more up to
date corrected version, please would you e-mail me a copy.
Thanks,
Greg Miller
