normal = juldate( year, day [, normal] );
JULDATE accepts a Julian date (form: yyddd), and returns a string which is that date in "normal" form, that is, in the form:
dd mmm yy
where dd is the day of month, mmm the month, and yy the year.
The "year" argument contains the year part of the Julian date, including the century part. The "date" argument contains the date part of the Julian date. The argument "normal" is optional; if supplied it should be a vector of size four, at least. If it is not given, JULDATE will supply one. In any event, the vector "normal" is returned as the value of JULDATE.
