It's important to note that the high-order 7 bits of the return from
the CALENDAR intrinsic do not represent the year of the century, but
rather the year since 1900.  Ric's example is correct:  for the date
2001-01-31, the year is 101 and the day is 31.

New development probably ought to be using the HPCALENDAR intrinsic
instead, which uses 23 bits for the year since 1900.  That should
hold us for a while.  :-)
