.SH DESCRIPTION
.I Xcal_cal
reads through the files created by
.IR xcal (1)
and creates a file suitable for use by
.IR calendar (1).
By default, the files are found in a directory named
``Calendar'' in the user's home directory;
an alternate directory may be specified with the
.B \-d
flag.
.LP
Output goes by default into a file named ``.xcal''
in the user's home directory;
it may be overridden with the
.B \-f
flag.
In both cases, if the argument given begins with a slash (`/'),
then it will be taken as a full path name, not as a path relative to the
user's home directory.
If the argument begins with the two character sequence `./' then
it will be taken relative to the current directory.
This last form is primarily intended for use while debugging.
.LP
The
.B \-m
flag directs that multi-line entries in
.I xcal
files be collected in their
entirety.
By default, only the first line is copied.
