Here's one way:

    Call CALENDAR to get today's date (it's in that wacky compressed format).
    Add 1.

    Pass the result to ALMANAC, and look at the returned MONTH.

    If the current month is different from the returned MONTH,
    then today is the last day.

Then again, I'm not convinced this is any more efficient than
a manual method.


Hmmm, better yet, it looks like you can get away with:

     Add 1 to the day-of-month

     call HPDATEFORMAT or HPDATEVALIDATE (5.5 express 4)

Details on this latter (hopefully much more efficient) solution are at
