There must be somewhere on the TPFC website a Windows version of the Unix command-line CAL.
But I could not find it, so I had to go online.
I found a script at: https://www.experts-exchange.com/viewCo ... 30-10613-1
( Description and usage: https://www.experts-exchange.com/articl ... rompt.html )
It works perfectly, and does exactly what I need.
The author is Ralph L. Brown, apparently not related to Ralph D. Brown, author of the "Interrupt List".
Note that the so-called calendar applications in the TPFC database are actually planners, and some are bloatware.

Putting aside Cygwin and MSYS2, there is also ycal, gcal of Gnuwin, cal of busybox-w32.
Still building the database.

Of historical interest, DOS-era utility:

This tiny (900 bytes) command line calendar can display current month, specific M/Y or yearly calendar to standard output.
Gregorian (New Style) is supported; years 1753 through 2399. ASM source included.

Thanks philippe!
That site looked awfully familiar, but I thought it was much more blue.Turns out, it was!
But definitely thanks for the updated version.

He, he...
The original "BLUE" site points to a broken CAL(3) URL, hence the detour via a functional backup archive.
