NAME

       kpcal - generate Kanji PostScript calendars


SYNOPSIS

       kpcal [ -a<ASCIIFont> ] [ -k<KANJIFont> ] [ -t<TITLEFont> ] [
       -n<NUMBERFont> ] [ -e| -f<cal> ] [ <month> [ <year> ]]


DESCRIPTION

       Kpcal generates PostScript to produce landscape calendars for any month
       and year.  The arguments <month> and <year>, if provided, should be
       numeric.  The month should be in the range 1 - 12, and year should be
       specified as 1 or 2 digits or as the full 4 digit year.  The defaults
       for month and year are the current month and year.

       If a file named calendar resides in the callers home directory, it will
       be searched for lines with leading dates matching the requested month
       and year (current by default).  Any text following the date will be
       printed on the calendar under the appropriate day of the month.  Dates
       in the calendar file may consist of a numeric or alpha month (at least
       the first 3 characters for month names) followed by a numeric day and
       optionally followed by a year.  Any non-numeric character may separate
       numeric dates.  Lines in the calendar file consisting of "year xxxx"
       (where xxxx is a numeric year) can be used to set the year for
       following entries.  This assumes that the following entries do not
       contain a year ,and that the calendar file written in JIS Code.  Any
       date entries containing year information will set the remembered year
       to that year.

       Kpcal has six options:

       -e     Print an empty calendar.  Do not print entries from a calendar
              file.

       -f<cal>
              Directs kpcal to use the file name <cal> as the input file in
              place of the default calendar file in the callers home
              directory.

       -a<ASCIIFont>
              use the font <ASCII Font> for printing ASCII characters in
              messages of the day. The default is Times-Roman.

       -k<KANJIFont>
              use the font <KANJI Font> for printing KANJI characters in
              messages of the day. The default is Ryumin-Light-H.

       -n<NUMBERFont>
              use the font <NUMBER Font> for printing day numbers.  The
              default is Helvetica-Bold.

       -t<TITLEFont>
              use the font <TITLE Font> for printing titles.  The default is
              Times-Bold.
