[comp.windows.x] XPHOON wrongness

        And now for something totally frivolous...

        I noticed today when I logged in (2 Feb 1990), that the
XPHOON display showed a first quarter moon.  Yet that isn't supposed
to happen until the 4th.  So, what gives?  Is there some known
patch to correct the flaw?  The XPHOON I have comes off the MIT
tape...

I suspect the bug is that you haven't flipped your calendar from January
to February.  My calendar shows quarter moons on 04jan90 and 02feb90.
