date
====
I wrote this just so I could see how much smaller than asm version would be
as compared to the C version. It turned out to be a great deal smaller, and
faster too - even with its additional options which I added later.
-V Version info.
-u continuously update the date on the screen. Killing the process will
force a "clean" exit.

Basically FormatGS and EraseDiskGS in one. I was tired of using an old "Init"
program from ORCA 1.x, so I wrote a GNO one. This one supports specifying
the file system by name in addition to the options the old Init used to
support.
See the manpage for details.
cal
===
Yeah, I did it again. I wrote a program that already existed. (notice that all
the files in this archive are this type of program). So what, it didn't take
long!
I didn't rewrite this one from scratch. I just added a few lines to the "cal"
that came with GNO (1.0) so that it would print a calendar for the current
month if no month is specified. This is how UNIX cal behaves.
This is the very first thing I did when I got ORCA/C (Finally!) last week.
