You may be correct on your guesses about the variable names but it's hard to tell with only a single letter to go on.
Apart from the naming, the code is in many ways superior to the alternate I proposed - I like the flexible argument format and its lack of external subroutines (my version uses subroutine "dow" - day of week - for which I did not include the definition). On the other hand, the APL-translated version uses fewer magic numbers - the column widths, etc. are driven by the lengths of the data items in "days" and "mos" so these abbreviations could be changed without altering the code. I do wonder about the repetition of the "magic" number vector "4 100 400" in the standard version. I've come to realize that I have my own versions of many things in the standard libraries but it's such a prospective chore to convert all my code to use the standards that I've been putting it off.
