The \fB\-w\fR option specifies the output width, padding and spacing
of the formatted calendar output. \fICol\fR specifies the number of
columns in the output device. If not specified, or specified as 0,
it defaults to the larger of 71 or the actual width of your terminal,
or to 80 if standard output is not a terminal. If specified as the letter
\fBt\fR, then \fBRemind\fR attempts to get the width of the
\fB/dev/tty\fR terminal device. This is useful, for example, if you
pipe calendar output into \fBless\fR; even though standard output
is a pipe, you want the calendar to be sized correctly for your
