Discussion
This routine computes the day of the week corresponding to a day number.  If the day number is omitted,
the value of Register.RTCDay is used..  A return value of 1 corresponds to Sunday and a value of 7
corresponds to Saturday with the remaining days falling in order in between.  There are built-in constants
that represent the day numbers as shown in the table below.
