>Description:
The calendar data file listing "history" events from Tolkien's _The Lord of
the Rings_ has fairly recently been split out from the file calendar.history
to a new file calendar.lotr.
However, when this was done, one entry was omitted. This is presumably
because it was missing the parenthetical "(LOTR)" comment in the original
source file. (This omission seems to date back to at least 4.3BSD-Reno, the
oldest BSD I can find with the LOTR calendar events in the calendar file.)
>How-To-Repeat:
$ calendar -t 5.10.2003 -f calendar.history
Oct 5 Frodo crosses bridge of Mitheithel
Oct 6 Antioch College is the first public school to admit men and women,
1853
Oct 6 Egyptian President Anwar es-Sadat is assassinated in Cairo, 1981
Oct 6 Israel is attacked by the alliance of Egypt and Syria, 1973
$ calendar -t 5.10.2003 -f calendar.lotr
$
