[comp.binaries.ibm.pc.d] cal for MS-DOS

mdlawler@bsu-cs.bsu.edu (Mike Lawler) (07/13/89)

I'd like a program for MS-DOS that is somewhat like the cal program
on UNIX.  I'd like to be able to enter
"cal 07/06/89"
for example and get this for the output
"Thu Jul 1989"
If anyone has a program like this and preferably source as well will
you please send me an US mail address so that I can send a disk for
the program?  Thanks a lot.

Hello Mike,
  I know that you do not unfortunately have an access to ftp, but
let me give this information nevertheless for the sake of the others
who might be interested.  The program day.exe in /pc/ts/tsutil27.arc
does exactly what is described in the above.  And for those, who
have the capability, it is available by anonymous ftp from the
University of Vaasa, Finland, 128.214.12.3.  An earlier version
tsutil25.arc came out in spring in comp.binaries.ibm.pc.  Packages
/pc/ts/tsutlc15.arc and /pc/ts/tscdar10.arc also include calendar
oriented utilities. 
   All the best, Timo
