   Apologies. I'm an asshole. I just wanted to spam the ng.   
   I love spamming. Here is more batch code to spam the newsgroup by.   
   It's what I do as a troll.   
      
    @echo off   
    :: CleverShowEast.bat - a twist on your original   
    :: Usage: CleverShowEast yyyy   
      
    :: Check argument by jumping to label with dynamic name   
    CALL :CHECKARG %1   
    GOTO :EOF   
      
    :CHECKARG   
    :: If %1 is empty, jump to usage   
    IF "%~1"=="" GOTO USAGE   
    :: Get day and month via external tool   
    FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i IN ('minEast %~1') DO SET DM=%%i   
    :: Compose full date output   
    ECHO %DM% %~1   
    GOTO :EOF   
      
    :USAGE   
    ECHO Usage: %~nx0 yyyy   
    ECHO where yyyy is in range 1900-2099   
    ECHO Output is Day Month Year   
    GOTO :EOF

   Bah, and indeed Humbug.
