known tables, the code has not been thoroughly tested and could contain
errors. The underlying algorithms are not exact and times could vary by
several minutes. Consult the book credited above for detailed information. *
*Note also that the day-of-week will not be correct when the date is in the
Julian calendar (earlier than 1582-Oct-15).*
