pscal

Pscal is a Bourne shell script that offers a straightforward and visually appealing solution for creating PostScript calendars. The PostScript code generated can be easily directed to a printer or file using standard I/O redirection techniques. However, users should be aware that some limitations exist such as the inability to handle calendars before 1753 (the September 1752 event caused some issues), or beyond January 1, 9600 (although it's possible to move the epoch date as needed). Also, the current format for dates of holidays could use some improvements, as well as the ability to escape holiday messages to enable raw PostScript coding.

Despite those limitations, pscal does offer some useful holiday message handling options. However, further enhancements could be used to clip and manage the messaging more intelligently. Perhaps more importantly, some users may find that certain language translation efforts are incomplete or lacking, which may be an issue in international settings.

If you're interested in the latest release, there have been some recent updates to pscal. These including adding a new %%Orientation comment to the prolog, implementing a Slovak translation and .holiday file, and incorporating a Russian translation. So if you're in need of a simple and elegant calendar-making solution, pscal could be worth exploring.
