Surprisingly, I think the answer is YES.

Actually, I seem to recall that our version would print calendars into the
21st century and beyond.  I remember using the same calendar / day of week
routines to do a computer programming assignment that calculated the
date of Easter from the years 1500 to 2500.

We did not use the built-in date functions of RSTS and Basic-Plus.

I'll have to take a look at the code to verify this.
