I have managed to work out how to find the day of the week using Zeller's Congruence formula without having the MOD function on the X16... it was a little complicated to figure out...
If you could extract the formula out of the basic program I made to use in the ROM Kernal so the day of the week is automatic would be a good feature...
But it probably does't matter either.... I know....
Its probably just as easy to type the day of the week in the menu setting, rather than a formula take up ROM space...
But the formula is in this basic program if anyone wants to use it...
just thought I'd post it...
Best regards
Shaun
