Fast,compact Day of the Week function that correctly handles pre 2001 dates correctly

It has been tweaked here to add typing to the function and local variables

Function DayOfWeek(year As Integer,month As Integer,day As Integer) As Integer
' sun mon tue wed thu fri sat
'  0   1   2   3   4   5   6
  local integer a,m,y
  a = int((14-month)/12) 
  m = month + 12*a - 2 
  y = year - a 
  DayOfWeek = (day + y + int(y/4)-int(y/100)+int(y/400)+int(31*m/12)) mod 7 
End Function
