*** REPLACE THIS LINE WITH YOUR MASSEUSE ***
Here is a little subroutine that might be of use to some of you
out there---it takes the date in DateStamp form, and converts it
to month/day/year form. Coming up with this algorithm presented
an interesting puzzle in itself.
By the way, this routine will fail on March 1, 2100.

char *months[]={"","January","February","March","April","May","June",
"July","August","September","October","November","December"} ;
main () {
long v[3] ;
long n ;
int m, d, y ;
DateStamp(v) ;
n = v[0] - 2251 ;
y = (4 * n + 3) / 1461 ;
n -= 1461 * y / 4 ;
y += 1984 ;
m = (5 * n + 2) / 153 ;
d = n - (153 * m + 2) / 5 + 1 ;
m += 3 ;
if (m > 12) {
y++ ;
m -= 12 ;
}
printf("%s %d, %d\n", months[m], d, y) ;
}
