    Do you have the getdate.bat system to make povray read the system clock
and generate today's calendar?

No, the scene uses pov lang to implement algorithms I found on a website (or
did you mean in general?)

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?
