Try something like this to get the day of the year. *Warning* I've not
compiled nor run the following. You'll also need to check for off-by-one
(that is, make sure that Jan 1 is 1 and not 0).
---
UInt32 Seconds;
DateType Date;
UInt32 NumDays;
// Get number of days since January 1, 1904
Seconds = TimGetSeconds();
TimSecondsToDateTime(Seconds, Today);
NumDays = DateToDays(Date);
// Subtract out days before the first of this year
Date.month = 1;
Date.day = 1;
NumDays = NumDays - DateToDays(Date) + 1;
---
Or, use DaysInMonth() and a loop to increment over each complete month,
summing the number of days.
