Chaps. I've been lucky enough to obtain a Super Gold Card ( For which I am a happy chap) The downside is that it's experiencing problems whilst booting my QL. If i describe the screen that comes up whilst booting maybe itll sound familiar. Firstly, there isn't much of a delay before the

Thanks. I had tried a similar piece of code myself, based on the fact that DATE=0 gives 1st January 1961, which (usefully) is a sunday. Stepping along that first year in units of the number of seconds in a 31 day month (doesn't matter where in the month thatmonth*31days happens to fall)
