1.  Why doesn't cal(1) hilight the current day?  Hell, some days I'm
not even sure what day or week it is, so after typing 'cal', I have to
type in 'date', and then sit there for a few seconds to interpret what
I'm looking at.  Of course, that isn't always successful, so I
typically end up reaching for my mouse and hilight the date manually.
But after doing that I'm just as annoyed by not knowing the date as
I'm annoyed by the behavior of the cal utility and the extra work I'm
forced to do.

2.  Why doesn't md5(1) have a "check" option?  Seems to me requiring a
manual inspection is error-prone at best, and makes scripting unecessarily
complicated.

Thanks.
