Hello, The cal utility seems to check for color support in the current $TERM in order to turn standout mode on or off. This means that, in a monochrome terminal, the current/requested day is not highlighted, even if the terminal has standout mode defined. While I can force this with --color=always, I'd say it's slightly confusing that the highlighting is controlled by --color=. If this behaviour is kept, perhaps the man page could say something about this? -- Best regards, Nuno Silva
