Just a quick parse and respond... this might be of interest to some of the
folks on the list who might not be aware of it. John Conway of LIFE fame (the
automata thing) is credited with an algorith similar to Zellers called the
"Doomsday Algorithm." His algorithm is simple enough to perform in your head
for any date in history, with just a little practice. Knocking out a Rebol
implementation is on my todo list. A good starting point is

Anyone know both of these algorithms well enough to talk about their
differences, pros / cons of one over the other, etc?
