I would consider the extra months just proper "error testing" remnants.
Better than getting a "Subscript out of range" error if one typed the
program in by hand and made some kind of typo, that resulted in a month
other than March or April being designated. The invalid months could be
removed and
Hey Peter,
Yeah, BASIC seems to know standard arithmetic precedence. And now that
I think about it, I guess I really didn't need to read in ALL of the
months to M$ array ... I don't recall ever celebrating Easter in December :)

Thanks Ken for the update. In looking at this I was at first a little
concerned about the arithmetic precedence on lines 70 to 85, as there were
not a lot of parentheses to force desired action, but it works !!
Good to have in the 'ole toolbox.

Hey Guys,
Well, the email I sent *wasn't* really a BASIC program but rather a math
formula. The M100 BASIC doesn't have a function called "Floor" ... it
is called "INT". But also I noticed the reference on Wikipedia that I
was looking at was for Eastern Orthodox Easter date, not modern day

Hey Peter,
Yes, it's missing an open parenthesis just after the subtraction.
Should be:
D = (19*(Y mod 19) + 15) mod 30 + (2 * (Y mod 4) + 4 * (Y mod 7) -
((19*(Y mod 19) + 15) mod 30) + 34) mod 7 + 127

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

Socat is a Linux command line utility for connecting different streams
together. So you would use it to connect wimodem232 tcp connections to a
Epson printer emulator which would create jobs in the native Linux print
subsystem.
I've used socat extensively... I've never used any Linux Epson
Heh, John, that one line:

Lots of learning for me in that. Wimodem232 I get. Pi I get. The printer
emulator and especially socat are new. Not sure what the workflow would be,
but would be an

Good point Lloyd -- and how I'll likely proceed. Backpack is very cool and
a great interim solution.
Would be neat if there was such a thing as an RS-232 -> WiFi printer
spooler that just sat on the RS-232 and sent print jobs to the local wifi

Lloyd, your program looks great and makes me deeply regret blowing up the only
continuous-feed printer I own with a rushed/botched repair attempt.

Of if you have the backpack TPDD just specify a filename and then move it to

Hello Everyone,
I wrote yet another calendar program for the TRS-80 Model 100 and NEC PC-8201A.
I call it YACalP.ba.
You can find this program along with a pdf file containing the documentation I
wrote for this program at
https://github.com/LEJ-Projects/Yet-Another-Calendar-Program
I hope
