Hi there Dan, how ya been?

I dont think it's that hard really but there are some structs to deal with.
I think you need to process the GETDAYSTATE notification also, where you'll
return a pointer to a DAYSTATE struct, that contains one or more
MONTHDAYSTATE values.

If no one else wants to post working code i'll work something out
if you need it.


Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
