         Sorry about the previous empty post,  editor problems...
    
    I  tried mailing this to Rogers@Sud509.ray.COM but  my  PostMaster
    can't find the path, so.....

        I picked up the PCAL program from USENET (alt.sources I think)
    and have installed  it here on my DEC VMS v5.3-1 system.  It works
    fine except for the  "calendar.dat"  options.   When ever I have a
    calendar.dat file, the program stalls  apparently forever.  It had
    produced the PS file up to these lines:
    
        /year 1990 def
        /month 7 def

    but never produced something like these lines (produced with "pcal
    -e"):

        /year 1990 def
        /month 7 def
        /holidays [ 99 ] def
        printmonth
        showpage

        Does this sound familiar?  Any ideas on  what I might be doing
    wrong?  I really like the output but would  like  to  be  able  to
    include  holidays and personal dates on the calendar.  Thanks  for
    any help you can offer.  As usual,  please  try e-mail first and I
    will summarize if it appears warranted.
