ZX BASIC was on my 1st Sinclair machine, which I had bought instead
of a programmable calculator to crunch lab data. But that was too  
long ago for me to remember 'computed gosubs'. I soon upgraded to a
QL. So I posted a simplified superBASIC routine, w/the expectation 
that it could easily be adapted to ZX BASIC if need be, including  
the END IFs & the integer variables ending in %. In any case, the  
routine is intended to convert NON-Gregorian dates, the kind that  
one will eventually encounter in one's family tree. See my posts on
the soc.genealogy groups for converting Julian & Old-Style dates   
without a computer.

And just in the nick of time for the 1st of April, jgharston's BBC
BASIC routine--esp. having you convert mid$ into spectrum BASIC-- 
is merely a troll.
