actually, it's just one and the same program, only one binary file, 
called 'cal', try it and see (see above). 
I have also seen 'calendar' and was curious when I found this one,
if it was the original and had at some point been forked off into
'cal' and 'calendar'.

cal 1752
September still comes out screwy.
