This topic describes how to use the Date Analysis
Engine to calculate what day of the week a specific date
is.
The
Date Analysis Engine calculates the day of the
week for any date in the range 1 January 1583-31 December 3000. Due to the
introduction of the
Gregorian calendar in 1582, dates cannot
be correlated to days of the week prior to this time. The
Date
Analysis Engine has hundreds of handy uses - for example, you can
plan your next year's holidays, or work out the day of the week on which
you were born.
Note: To calculate days of the week for dates
prior to 1 January 1970, you must buy the Deluxe Edition of World Time Pro.

2000 fell on, open the Date Analysis Engine. Select
2 from the Day drop-down
box, select February from the
Month drop-down box, and type
2000 in the Year field.
Click Enter. The result of
Thursday appears in the Day Of The
Week field, and the calendar for February 2000 appears in the
calendar pane.
