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. --Roger Wells (teklabs!tekid!rogerw)
