Abstract
This report describes a general purpose diagnostic program for the Maya Calendar Round. Taking as its input any or all the components of the Calendar Round position, it displays all possible Long Count dates and their Gregorian day equivalents, commencing at any specified Long Count date. Provisions are made in this program to correct for a wide range of spelling errors and impossible combinations. In addition, a number of innovative programming techniques are used to provide fast execution.
