/*
 *              Convert Date to Readable Format.
 *
 * Synopsis:
 *
 *      char    *datetxt(buffer, year, month, day);
 *      char    *buffer;        -- Output string goes here
 *      int     year;           -- Year,        1979 = 1979
 *      int     month;          -- Month,       January = 1
 *      int     day;            -- Day,         1 = 1
 *
 * The readable date will be written into the outpub buffer, terminated by
 * a null byte.  datetxt returns a pointer to the null byte.
 *
 * External routines called:
 *
 *      nbrtxt          (Number to ascii conversion)
 *      copyst          (String copy routine)
