• Bug#265881: bsdmainutils: wishlist for calendar printing current date

    From Tim Connors@1:229/2 to All on Sun Aug 15 16:50:08 2004

    Package: bsdmainutils
    Version: 6.0.14
    Severity: wishlist

    It would be nice if cal would output eg. a pair of stars around the
    current date, when given an option.

    Frequently, I want to find out what the date "next saturday after
    today", and I have to do this by first running date, to find out what
    day it is today, then I have to search through the calendar output for
    today, and then search some more for the weekend. It'd be a lot easier
    if I could just eyeball today immediately.
