8086 Assembly
This program runs under DOS. It can take a date on the command line in the form
MM/DD/YYYY
, and if a date is not given, it asks DOS for the system date
and uses that instead. It is mostly a port of the 8080 (CP/M) version, but it does use the 8086's new capabilities
where possible, e.g. multiplication and division, and the string lookups are done
using an 8086 string instruction.
This code is written to compile to a .COM
file using nasm
.

AppleScript
on gregorianToDiscordian(inputDate) -- Input: AppleScript date object.
(*
Discordian years are aligned with, and the same length as, Gregorian years.
Each has 73 5-day weeks and 5 73-day seasons. (73 * 5 = 365.)
The first day of a Discordian year is also that of its first week and first season.
In leap years, an extra day called "St. Tib's Day", is inserted between days 59 and 60.
It's considered to be outside the calendar, so the day after it is Setting Orange, Chaos 60,
not Sweetmorn, Chaos 61. Year 1 YOLD is 1166 BC, but this handler takes an AS date object
as its input and is only good for AD Gregorian dates. Since the Discordian calendar's an
American invention, the output here's in the US style: "Weekday, Season day, year".

This version is loosely based on a modified translation of the original ddate.c and like the original the leap year functionality is Julian not Gregorian.

see talk page. But, in essence, this version uses season ordinals with a single imaginary day after the 59th of the first season, on leap years. This is implemented so that that imaginary day has been passed for all remaining days of a leap year.
