Pcal

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pcal is a multi-platform (Unix/Linux, DOS, DOS+DJGPP, Windows+Cygwin) program which generates annotated PostScript or HTML calendars in a monthly or yearly format.

It is usually run from the command line but there is an HTML/CGI capability as well, to generate calendars (in either PostScript or HTML format) from a web-browser interface.

Various events can be defined in an external text file to control the appearance of the calendars generated by pcal. On monthly PostScript calendars, EPS (Encapsulated PostScript) images (photos, icons, etc) can be added to any given day of the month.

Pcal is distributed with several sample configuration files which define various events (holidays, etc). There are samples for several countries. If you have prepared pcal configuration files that you think are worth sharing, send them to the email address shown at the bottom of this page and we'll be happy to include them in the next release of pcal.

Pcal actually generates calendars in several output formats: PostScript, HTML, or even a simple text file that acts as input to the Unix 'calendar' program.
