<div> Before Zack chats with RMS, I want to hear how he uses Calendar.app in a<br></div>
<div> cron job. ;-><br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div> But 'cal' is best used as a convenience for small problems like 'Wait,<br></div>
<div> is the second Tuesday this week or next week?' Thus its relevance.<br></div>
<div> <br></div>
<div> By contrast, when I needed to write a small 'daysutil' tool for event<br></div>
<div> planning, I started out trying to leverage cal, but got lazy and<br></div>
<div> switched to awk, leveraging the POSIX awk mktime function.<br></div>

<div> (Calendar arithmetic is nasty and easy to get wrong.)<br></div>
