I found the calendar program as posted by Mr. Narasimhan
quite useful. For those of you in Europe who have a4 paper,
I would suggest to make the following changes:
    * 81pt vboxes changed to 75pt, so the calendar fits on the page, vertically.
    * 1.30in changed to 1.40in to fill out the page horizontally and allow
      for larger non-postscript fonts.

I do not have a postscript printer, so I changed the \newfont's to \font's,
using Zap Humanistic fonts (dont ask me for them, you have to buy them).
Unfortunately, the zap 6 points are larger than their postscript equivalents,
so other than changing 1.30in to 1.40in, I also changed the
tabcolsep from .6em to .53em.

Suggestions to whoever has some spare time:

Lets write it all in TeX (LaTeX), instead of using a C-preprocessor.
Don't see any reason why it should be difficult using these fine
sources as a starting point.

Thanks again to the author.
