Is this "calendar" the same as:

   calendar - Writes reminder messages to standard output

If so, that is the program name, and it should stay.  I've got it on
Tru64 Unix (which is BSD derived from many years ago) as a standard part
of the OS.

Is somebody next going to say "ed" has to be renamed because there are
other editors?
