Hi !
this command doesn't work

#bash $ emacs --batch --funcall calendar other-buffer --funcall 
calendar-print-chinese-date
Loading 00debian-vars...
Loading 50autoconf (source)...
Loading 50dictionaries-common (source)...
Loading /var/cache/dictionaries-common/emacsen-ispell-dicts.el (source)...
Computing Chinese date...
Symbol's value as variable is void: displayed-month

but if I strip "other-buffer", it works perfect
Today  for instance

#bash $ emacs --batch --funcall calendar --funcall 
calendar-print-chinese-date
Loading 00debian-vars...
Loading 50autoconf (source)...
Loading 50dictionaries-common (source)...
Loading /var/cache/dictionaries-common/emacsen-ispell-dicts.el (source)...
Computing Chinese date...
Chinese date: Cycle 78, year 23 (Bing-Xu), month 12 (Xin-Chou), day 21 
(Gui-You)


Thank you a lot Kevin!
