	From the SunOS 4.1 crontab(5) manual page (Quoted without
permission):


     Note: the specification of days may be made  by  two  fields
     (day  of the month and day of the week).  If both are speci-
     fied as a list of elements, both are adhered to.  For  exam-
     ple,

          0 0 1,15 * 1

     would run a command on  the  first  and  fifteenth  of  each
     month,  as well as on every Monday.

>From this excerpt (and experience), the day fields are OR'd.  If
anyone know the real way to do this for SunOS 4.X, I'd appreciate the
answer too.
