 PURPOSE:     This function returns Easter Sunday day and month
              for a specified year and method.
 
 INPUTS:      Year   - Any year between 326 and 4099.
              Method - 1 = the original calculation based on the
                           Julian calendar
                       2 = the original calculation, with the
                           Julian date converted to the
                           equivalent Gregorian calendar
                       3 = the revised calculation based on the
                           Gregorian calendar
 
 OUTPUTS:     None.
 
 RETURNS:     0, error message - Error; invalid arguments
              month, day       - month and day of the Sunday

 ORIGINAL NOTES:
 
              This algorithm is an arithmetic interpretation
              of the 3 step Easter Dating Method developed
              by Ron Mallen 1985, as a vast improvement on
              the method described in the Common Prayer Book
 
              Published Australian Almanac 1988
              Refer to this publication, or the Canberra Library
              for a clear understanding of the method used
 
              Because this algorithm is a direct translation of
              the official tables, it can be easily proved to be
              100% correct
 
              It's free! Please do not modify code or comments!
