Not all modern distributions install the BSD calendar program by default, so a sentence like "the file format is essentially the same as that used by the external utility `calendar'" may mislead users. But since all the syntax is explained in the emacs manual, too, I don't see a problem with that. Maybe it would be a good idea to move that sentence after the example. --8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8--- Index: doc/emacs/calendar.texi =================================================================== RCS file: /sources/emacs/emacs/doc/emacs/calendar.texi,v retrieving revision 1.3 diff -u -r1.3 calendar.texi --- doc/emacs/calendar.texi 16 Sep 2007 02:29:50 -0000 1.3 +++ doc/emacs/calendar.texi 15 Oct 2007 18:04:47 -0000 @@ -990,8 +990,7 @@ The name of the diary file is specified by the variable @code{diary-file}; @file{~/diary} is the default.
