ACM 199 is somewhat more suitable for computer use (though MUCH less
suitable for human use) because it does not use any tables.  It's not
suitable for human use because it uses several large apparently random
integers.

I've typed in and tested a probably portable C version of ACM 199
(calendar to julian and julian to calendar conversions), if anybody
wants a copy.

ps:  ACM 199 is magic too...  probably more so.
