(35S) years, months and days between two dates

Simple. In this case there is an unambiguous solution because day2 > day1. So the result is 1 year, 6 months and 29 days.

I wrote the program "...counts the number of days until the end of the first month, then determines the number of months and years until the second month, and finally adds the number of days in the latter.". This rule is only applied where more than one valid result may exist, i.e. where day2 < day1. Sorry if I was not clear enough here.

BTW, looking at the program again I found an error in line Y060 that is now corrected. ;-)
