[Elecraft] KCOMM for K3

[Victor Rosenthal]

For what it's worth, I downloaded it, changed the code to accept dates 
up to 2050, and compiled it in Lazarus successfully under Windows 10. 
But it didn't run -- runtime exception. I'll have to look into it further.

Incidentally, the date validation function is in utils.pas, not main.pas.
