Actually, the rule is not what you stated; I believe it is:
- Every 4 years is a leap year
- Every 100 years is not
- Every 400 years is
I'll look it up to be sure that the above rule is correct, but I do
remember 2000 is a leap year.

Hi, there is a bug with the cal program.
If a year is divisible by 400, then it should not be a leap year.
2000, however, is a leap year according to cal
cal 2 2000
will show 29 days.
It should be fixed at least within the next 8 years. Just pointing it out
in case someone else doesn't :)
