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

[Michael Wayne Goodman]

The man page is shared for cal and ncal, and it says ncal has more
options, so it may be the case that the -M option is only for ncal.
Until this gets fixed, I came up with the following workaround:

$ ncal -M -C
   November 2011      
Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa Su  
    1  2  3  4  5  6  
 7  8  9 10 11 12 13  
14 15 16 17 18 19 20  
21 22 23 24 25 26 27  
28 29 30              

Using ncal, the -M option starts the week on Monday, and the -C option
uses cal-style formatting.
