Subj: What is NEXT day ??
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
 AC> My assignment is to write a program, given three integers whose values
 AC> represent a day between January 1, 1900 and December 30, 1999, will
 AC> output the value representing the day following.

 AC> I am running into problems with three things.  The end of a month, the
 AC> end of a year, and leap years.

Here's a procedure you might get some ideas from... }
