Folks:

I'm wondering if I'm mis-remembering here. As I recall, there used to be 
a command called "cal" which would simply print this month's calendar to 
the screen. It would do other calendars, depending on command line 
parameters. Now that I've moved to bullseye, I don't see the command nor 
a package containing it. There is a command "gcal" which appears to do 
the same thing.

Am I missing something? Was there a separate package called "cal" which 
was automatically installed in earlier versions of Debian? Or was there 
an automatic alias to the gcal program?

Paul
