Is there something equivalent to the cal program found in FreeBSD
for RasPiOS?  I tried calendar, but it doesn't seem to display a
table of dates by day of the week, which is all I need. No need
for appointment reminders or anything like that, just the equivalent
of an old-fashioned paper calendar.
 
I'm running a GUI, so a fancy calendar is ok if it can be identified
using apt search.

Have you tried:
$ apt search calendar
 
 

Yes, that's where I started. The "calendar" program is laden with trivia
and returns a syntax error for something sensible like
calendar 2025 or
calendar may 2025 to display a calendar for the month.
 
There are a flood of other entries from "apt search calendar" but none
seem recognizably likely to simply monthly or yearly calendar, like the
paper version. It's a little surprising a calendar of some sort isn't
included under the raspberry "Accessories" menu.
 
It's hard to believe what I'm looking for doesn't exist, more likely I'm
just not using the right search terms.
