Well, this is what I did for mine:
1. Typed command "cal 2001" for calendar
2. Loaded up the screenshot taker in the multimedia
folder
3. Took a screenshot
4. Loaded it up in the GIMP
5. Cropped it
6. Colored the background
7. Brought in another image on top, opacity set to
something like 30%
8.

Thanks for the info and thanks to the group for the numerous responses.
I'm still trying the perl script...

Hi,
With the cal 2001 command I can get the year's calendar displayed on a
terminal or shot to a file. Q: How can I use that as background, as in

Thanks.

It's easiest to call cal in a window and then cut'n'paste its output to
the text entry dialog in GIMP (1.2.0 anyway). Spaces and newlines are
preserved in the image.

Let me tell you the trouble I had with the gimp and calendars:
variable width fonts
I suggest that you generate it with something else, I used LaTeX and
then get it from that ps file, or whatever. cal makes nice calendars
because it is limited to only fixed width fonts.
Maybe someone knows

Hmm. The problem is getting ASCII text to an image. I am sure that my

If you can tell me how to lay in text that would do it. With background

I don't have fax program loaded. Can check dselect... Latex neither.
Nothing simpler, um? straight text with a transparent bg is the
objective...
