Pcal and lcal

I recently had the opportunity to try out Pcal and Lcal, two impressive calendar-generation programs that produce visually appealing PostScript output.

Pcal is a versatile tool that can generate both monthly and yearly calendars with ease. It allows users to embed special events, such as holidays or celebrations, into their calendars with text and images. This makes it an excellent choice for anyone who wants to create customized calendars for personal or business use.

Lcal, on the other hand, focuses exclusively on generating lunar phase calendars for an entire year. This makes it a unique and valuable tool for enthusiasts who want to track lunar cycles and plan activities accordingly.

Both programs were previously developed by Andrew W. Rogers, although his website appears to have vanished. Despite this, both Pcal and Lcal remain reliable and user-friendly tools for generating high-quality calendars.

One of the things I appreciated about Pcal is its support for a wide range of languages, including Catalan, Czech, Dutch, Esperanto, and more. This makes it accessible to users all over the world.

Overall, I found Pcal and Lcal to be powerful and dependable tools for generating calendars. The latest release includes some new features, updated configuration files, and fixes for known bugs, making it an even more compelling choice for anyone in need of calendar-generation software.
