ccal - Pretty print the output from the unix ''cal'' program
[Stu] 2008-10-30 Created this page.

I don't like desktop clutter, so when I want to know the time I open (or switch to) an ''xterm'' and type ''date''. I also like the output of the ''cal'' program, but it doesn't show the time. Ccal higlights the current date (using ANSI colour codes) from the output of ''cal'', adds a separator and the time and prints it.<<br>>Ccal means ''colourcal'', not ''colorcal''.
