How to print Remind calendar
============================
I do NOT use the Remind [1] as my main calendar program for at least 5
years. But I still converting my more modern calendar formats to the
Remind format (I still do have the Remind installed on most of my
computers).
Sometimes it makes sense to print the calendar. It is probably possible
to print if from the Thunderbird but it the calendar in in the Remind
format then the "rem2ps" can be also used.
To convert the current month calendar in A4 format to a PostScript file
I use this command:
------------------
rem -p -m -b1 |iconv -f latin2 -t ascii//TRANSLIT |rem2ps -m A4 -b 3 |tee `date +%B_%Y`.ps
------------------
Comments:
* The "rem" executes "remind ~/.reminders".
* The "-p -m -b1" means:
- format suitable for rem2ps (-p)
- start week on monday (-m)
- 24-hour format (-b1)
* The "iconv" is used to remove localised characters.
* The "-b 3" paramater saves some space.
* The tee can be replaced with ">" but I like to see the output in terminal.
I think that it is not as nice as SGI's VCAL output but it's good
enough for me.
