+
+ Modified Julian Date to Gregorian Calendar, expressed
+ in a form convenient for formatting messages (namely
+ rounded to a specified precision, and with the fields
+ stored in a single array)
+
+ Given:
+ NDP i number of decimal places of days in fraction
+ DJM d modified Julian Date (JD-2400000.5)
+
+ Returned:
+ IYMDF i(4) year, month, day, fraction in Gregorian
+ calendar
+ J i status: nonzero = out of range
+
+ Any date after 4701BC March 1 is accepted.
+
+ NDP should be 4 or less if internal overflows are to be avoided
+ on machines which use 32-bit integers.
+
+ The algorithm is derived from that of Hatcher 1984
+ (QJRAS 25, 53-55).
