The following is a standard leapyear algorithm function if it is 
any help.

main()
{
 blah...blah....

 if (month > 2)
     days += leapyear(year);

}

int leapyear(int year)      /* standard leapyear algorithm */
{
   if (year % 4 == 0 && year % 100 != 0 !! year % 400 == 0)
       return 1;
   else
       return 0;
}

Uses the return value to add the day if true.
