+CAL is a nicely-enhanced version of the unix `cal' command.
+Features:
+
+ * Hilights today's date when displaying a monthly calendar.
+
+ * Displays an optional user-definable list of `special day'
+ descriptions (like appointments) to the right of the monthly
+ calendar display. Cal can be set optionally to ignore appointments
+ older than the current day. Next month's appointments are shown if
+ there is room to do so. Multiple appointment data files may also
+ be specified on the commandline.
+
+ * You can specify your own appointment and color definition files on the
+ commandline, or use the defaults.
+
+ * Date descriptions can display "years since" a given year, useful for
+ birthdays and anniversaries.
+
+ * Completely configurable colors -- eight separate color attributes.
+
+ * No ANSI driver needed for colors, and the output may be redirected
+ anywhere, just like the unix version. However, ANSI color control may
+ be enabled (e.g. for unix) with a #define in the source code.
+
+ * Commandline-compatible with unix `cal' command, but with several
+ enhanced switch settings.
+
+Requests, bug reports, suggestions, donations, proposals for
+contract work, and so forth may be sent to:
