Cut the following and save to is_day.scr. From the dos prompt, type
"debug < is_day.scr" to construct is_day.com. There is one blank line before
the line containing "rcx" that must be included. The following dos functions
are used:
   2A -- get date function. Returns day of week (0=Sun...6=Sat) in al.
   4C -- exit to system with errorlevel in al. (Therefore, errorlevel =         day of week.
