Once upon a time, I read an article that described an algorithm to compute
the Day-of-the-week when given the date.  There were about 6 terms in it,
with the anwser coming out to 0=sunday, 1=Monday, ...   Obviously, the
last thing was a modulo.  If anyone in netland happens to know that equation,
I'd be gratefully receive such.
