However, I feel that cal-tex requires a general overhaul. The LaTeX file it produces doesn't look really great (neither the source nor the output). And it doesn't fit on A4. I could try to do that overhaul. For starters, enable A4 calendars; also, why not use TikZ to draw the boxes (at least as an option)? WDYT? Best, -- Marcin Borkowski
