hy should your work week decide how the calendar looks? Just why do you
think they are called "Weekends" Sunday is the start and Saturday is the
finish.

No! ... They both are called weekend, because they are at the END of the WEEK
...
Or don't you call sunday a weekend-day ? Is it a weekstart-day for you ?

What I mean is do you have that system so that you can add it to your
macro to allow it to read the system clock and maybe highlight today's date
or automatically make the right month unless you tell it otherwise? If not I
can tell you how to do it.

Ends, plural. A line segment (in this case, the work
week) has two ends. Hence weekend, similar to bookend,
is at either locus.

Ah! No, but it might be a nice option - I could implement it through a batch
file and pov i/o I suppose. I can't think of any cross-platform way apart
from using perl, but then that ties it to having perl installed. Would your
method be cross-platform?

There are other platforms?
I imagine that other platforms have ways of calling small batch programs
that write text files which contain the date and time. You have the pov.ini
run them, then read them in the pov script i/o functions. Including cross
platform instructions in the comments would make it cross platform.

Yup. Sunday is the 7th day. Even the bible has this correct.

Sorry, that's not correct. It's Saturday in the bible - as the Jews
celebrate it. Sunday as the day of the lord is caused by Easter and JC
resurrection.

Well, I doubt that the Bible ever mentions "Saturday" or "Sunday" by
those names. But it's clear, isn't it?, that the crucifixion (Good
Friday) was on the "day of preparation", i.e. the day before the "day of
rest" -- which is still called something like `sabbat' in some Romance
languages as well as Hebrew.
