As I said to Mr. Mead, there is a DOS service function available to you
that does this automatically.

Set AH = 2Ah (decimal 42)
Use interrupt 21h (decimal 33).

Register AL now contains a number (0-6) which corresponds to Sunday -
Saturday.  Register CX will contain the year, and DH contains the month #
and DL contains the day #.  I'll leave it up to one more experienced in 
linking assembly to PASCAL to explain how to accomplish this in PASCAL.
Perhaps you can use a Pascal Command to check the contents of your
registers?

Best of luck with this (shorter) method...
