Description:

This is a little program which was originally written when the author
was learning C, some time ago now. It has gone through a couple of total
re-writes, the last of which was four or five years ago now, but he
still finds it a useful program.

It displays a list of events which are coming up in the near future,
based on a config file (~/.birthdays) in the user's home directory.
It can be included it in .profile, so user gets the list every time he
logs on. See the manpage for more details of this format.
