Jump to Postfunctions and structure in time.h will give you that information.
- First put the day, month and year in a struct tm structure. Then call mktime() to populate the rest of the structure. tm_wday contains the day of the week.

Todays date modulo 7 = day of week.
0 = Sunday 6 = Saturday.

nice try, but that doesn't work. Example: Jan 1 -- 1%7 == 1, and we all know that the first of the month does not always fall on a Monday.

most systems that I work with return the system date as some form of julian date.
1/1/2011 returns 76705. 76705 mod 7 = 6 or Saturday.
