I've written a simple like C++ program - it's not quite to spec as it 
output in three formates "<Day-of-Week> <date> <Month> <year>",
"Tomorrow (<Day-of-Week> <date> <Month> <year>)" or
"Today (<Day-of-Week> <date> <Month> <year>)".

I changed the output for the following reasons:

  *) Having the day of the week is helpful.  Someone interested in coming
     can know - "Yes I'm free Thursday nights".

  *) By adding "Tomorrow" or "Today" shows that they need to act
     quickly.

I'm going to work on it so that with arguments it will allow the selection
of other days - this would make it useful for the other LUGs which don't 
meet on the last Thursday.

The source and make file is attached.
