I remember it in Ed5 and Ed6, but can't remember when I last saw it.

Thanks.

Looks like on the BSD side it disappeared between 4.3 Tahoe and Reno.  It's in research through v10.  It's in SVR2; SVR4 modifies it to say "An unusual calendar is printed for September 1752."  I don't seem to have manpages with either of the SVR3 source distributions that I have handy.  So to answer your basic question, it stayed around for quite a while.
