<p><font face="Arial">Dear co-scilabers,</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">A bug report recently posted about the
weekday() function invites me to propose to upgrade this simple
function.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Presently, weekday() accepts only one poorly
explicit numerical date format.</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">By the way, when it is requested, it is currently
not possible to get the day name in en_US language as a standard.
Only the locale version is returned.<br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">A proposal to extend weekday() is attached. It
is also available on the Scilab wiki:</font></p>

<p><font face="Arial"><br>
</font></p>
<p><font face="Arial">Any comment and input is welcome.<br>
