On my host I can show the [adoption of the Gregorian calendar](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoption_of_the_Gregorian_calendar) as it occurred for [Great Britain and its colonies](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoption_of_the_Gregorian_calendar#Great_Britain_and_its_colonies) in 1752:
$ cal september 1752
September 1752
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2 14 15 16
17 18 19 20 21 22 23
24 25 26 27 28 29 30
The corresponding adoption for [Denmark and Norway](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adoption_of_the_Gregorian_calendar#Denmark_and_Norway) happened much earlier:
> Sunday, 18 February 1700, was followed by Monday, 1 March 1700.
I thought I could override the timezone environment variable to show this, but that doesn't work:
$ TZ=DK february 1700
February 1700
Su Mo Tu We Th Fr Sa
1 2 3
4 5 6 7 8 9 10
11 12 13 14 15 16 17
18 19 20 21 22 23 24
25 26 27 28 29
How do I get
cal
to show Denmark's adoption of the Gregorian calendar?
My cal
is supplied by [bsdmainutils
