Greetings. I was born well after the year -7, so I don't know if there
were any calendar shenanigans going on that long ago, but it looks like
an error:
greagle_AT_530GA ~/D/p/sbase> ./cal -3 1 -7
January -7 February -7 March -7

29 30 31 28 27 28 29 30 31
Note that Monday (Feb. 1) follows Tuesday (Jan. 31) and that Tuesday
(Mar. 7) follows Sunday (Feb. 28). I cannot compare it to the cal
installed on my computer (util-linux) because it only deals with
positive years.
As I mentioned earlier, I am re-writing cal for my fun and my education,
and now it is ready for its debut. I'll introduce it in another
message. My re-write does not have this problem.
