Date addition: can it be done in a single HP 65 program card?

I've created 2 HP-65 program cards for the emulator if anyone wants to try them out.

Side 1:
A: Days between dates (calls B on x and y and subtracts the values)
B: Date to day number (Julian date without the 1,720,982 offset added; preserves stack Y register)
C: Date to day of week (calls B then falls through to D)
D: Day number to day of week

Side 2:
A: Day number to date
B: Number of days to weeks+days

The usage is understandably different from the 67 version, e.g. if you want to compute a future/past date, you load side 1, enter the starting date and press B to convert to a day number, add/subtract a number of days, then load side 2, and press A to convert back to a readable date. If you need to compute several offsets from the same date, you can store the day number in R7-R9, which aren't used by side 2, then recall the day number, add/subtract, and convert to a date as many times as needed.

Like the 67 version, it's limited to 1901-2099 due to not calculating leap years correctly for years that are divisible by 100 but not divisible by 400.

I need to test it a bit more, and make the code more readable than my messy notes, then I'll probably add it to the software library forum.
