I am doing a little program which will have a date that you can change
using pop-up menu's. So, I need to have a menu for Day of Week, Month,
and Date. Day of Week and Month I can do pretty easily; just roll
through the itl1 resource for the names of the months and the names
of the days and Append them to the respective menus (if you have a
niftier way to do this, I would be open to it). But there is no nifty
system-defined way of finding out how many days go with each month.
I can teach my program the little "Thirty days has September, April,
June and November" quip, but I know the system figures this out from
time to time all by itself. Any way for my program to do this easily?
