The difference is in seconds, still.
Yeah, I finally figured that out.
The modding by 'weeks' gets rid of
the exact number of weeks between 00:00:00 on Wednesday 1 Jan 1000 and
00:00:00 on the Wednesday before (or including) the 14th of the current
month, leaving just the number of seconds from the latter date/time to
the date/time of 'b'. When these seconds are subtracted from b, the
result is the required Wednesday date/time.
I had to think about that about three or four times before it sank in.
Thanks again,
