For all I know the calendar(1) utility comes from Berkeley, it was
included in the CSRG BSD distribution and was written from someone in
the US.
From my personal point of view, I believe my most important
contribution to FreeBSD as a whole was r321834, which added the Catholic
holidays, followed in many countries, to calendar(1). For non-catholics
it is surely unimportant and a culture/religion uniqueness thing but
I've always thought FreeBSD had such interest in culture diversity.
Yes, for you calendar is something accidental that shouldn't be there,
for me it's a differentiating factor.

That was not at all my intention.

Please excuse me if you felt I meant anything personal against you or
your way of thinking.
I was trying to show you how someone else, like me, really sees
somethings different. It is more that just code.
Now, if we can just go on with the regular programming, and leave
calendar(1) as it is.
Pedro.
