__Liberty Basic Day and Date Routines__

LB day-of-week conversion.
This routine uses LB's built-in date$() function.
In the LB universe, day 0 was Jan 1, 1901.
Dates before 1/1/1901 return negative numbers.

It will accept 1- or 2-digit numbers for the month and day
and 1, 2, 3 or 4-digit numbers for the year.  Years from 
0 to 99 are assumed as 2000 to 2099.  It will also accept 
fully typed month names or 3-letter abbreviations. 
Some examples:
Jul 4, 2006  --  July 04, 2006  --  07/04/2006
7/4/6  --  7/4/06  --  7/4/2006  --  07/04/06

Be aware that negative years are **incorrectly** handled as 
positive, so LB's date$() function can not be relied upon 
for any date earlier than Jan 1, 100.
