[Bug 604366] Re: cal -m doesn't work anymore

[Michael Wayne Goodman]

According to the man page, "The cal utility displays a simple calendar
in traditional format and ncal offers an alternative layout...", so the
switched axes are not a problem with ncal. But I do observe the problem
that the -M option does not cause the week to start with Monday with
cal.

$ cal -M
Usage: cal [general options] [-hjy] [[month] year]
       cal [general options] [-hj] [-m month] [year]
       ncal [general options] [-bhJjpwySM] [-s country_code] [[month] year]
       ncal [general options] [-bhJeoSM] [year]
General options: [-NC3] [-A months] [-B months]
For debug the highlighting: [-H yyyy-mm-dd] [-d yyyy-mm]
$ ncal -M
    November 2011     
Mo     7 14 21 28   
Tu  1  8 15 22 29   
We  2  9 16 23 30   
Th  3 10 17 24      
Fr  4 11 18 25      
Sa  5 12 19 26      
Su  6 13 20 27

I get similar results with -S (works for ncal, doesn't for cal).

I am running Ubuntu 11.10
