Command line calendar for Windows

I created a command line calendar utility that others may find useful. Download the zip file from here. I originally coded this as an exercise in Turbo Pascal, translated into Delphi, then recently recoded into PureBasic which can create tightly compiled stand alone console executables - about one quarter the size of Delphi executables.

You can use the utility to create a MSWord doc using a mono font like Courier, by redirecting the output to a file:
cal > cal.txt
You can even fit three full years on one A4 page if you change MSWord's page orientation to landscape and reduce the margins
cal n=36 w=6 > cal.txt

Usage: cal Y=nnnn M=nn N=nn W=[1,2,3,4,6,12] S=nn T
Y = year of calendar; default=current year; cal Y=2000
YX = year of calendar without correction for 0-99
M = start month; default=1 (January)
N = number of months; default=12
W = nr months in a row; default=3
S = nr horizontal spaces between months; default=3
T = use tab instead of spaces - good for export to spreadsheet; cal T > caltab.txt
