- * The pokes below can be poked into RAM at the beginning of the
- * application and called at any time after that. You must,

- * will be released after the routine. Only "Nameday" is passed
- * back. You must validate the M::DATE before calling this
- * routine.

- * If you poke the routine above into RAM at the beginning of
- * your application, include the code following in your running
- * code.
- * NOTE: This assumes your routine gets dates in the format
- * "MM/DD/YY". If you get dates in another format, just make
- * the necessary adjustments in the initialization of the passed
- * variables.
