The internet for "the common man" didn't exist then, I was working with
this information from The Farmers Almanac:

*Easter is observed on the Sunday following the Paschal Full Moon, which is
the first full Moon that occurs on or after the March equinox*.

It was determining the "Paschal Full Moon" that was the problem. My
algorithm would be a week off, sometimes, but not always. Even then
Compuserve had no algorithm as you indicated. I will have to test this to
see if it is always correct.
