Has anyone reported a minor  bug  in  the  ``cal''  routine?
This  isn't  of  earth-shaking consequence, at least for the
next  2018  years;  however,  the  Gregorian  calendar   has
recently  been  modified so that years divisible by 4000 are
NOT leap years.  This is not incorporated in  ``cal.''  This
makes  the  calendar  correct to one day in 20,000 years.  I
have doubts whether anyone 2000-some years  hence  will  use
the  Terran  Gregorian;  nonetheless, ``cal'' purports to be
correct through 9999 CE., and strictly speaking, it is not.
