First, thanks to those who responded. I received three calendar
programs. Two were based on Postscript commands, the other a short C
program to generate a text-only calendar. One (Pcal) had a C front end
to read read a UNIX-style calendar and fill in the boxes of the calendar
as needed. The other just created a blank "fill-'em-in-yourself" calendar.
My interest was in filling in the blanks with birthdays and other
special events, so I'm going to hack upon Pcal.
As for business cards, the results were mixed. One person sent in a
UNIX troff file. Two others send in Postscript code. I was interested
in pure-Postscript solutions, so I'm playing those. Both solutions
seem to work quite well.
To save net bandwidth, I've collected the responses and put them up for
anonymous FTP on atanasoff.cs.iastate.edu (129.186.3.1) in
/pub/postscript.stuff (The file is ~60K uncompressed, ~30K compressed.)
