Subject: [TUHS] Re: When did "man cal" lose the comment about 1752?
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.
System V Release 3.2 MRD says the same thing as SVR4:
An unusual calendar is printed for September 1752. That is
the month 11 days were skipped to make up for lack of leap
year adjustments. To see this calendar, type: "cal 9 1752"
The "BUGS" section remains the same as it was in 7th Edition.
In the CSRG SCCS files cal(1) was "updated" after the 4.3BSD release
with this comment:
src/usr.bin/cal/SCCS/s.cal.1

The code was also updated at the same time:

This is of course a complete rewrite to give UCB the copyright.
