[In which newsgroup should this me discussed?, let's try comp.misc] If you really want to dig into previous calendards, you will realize that it is actually very difficult. Here are a few of the ways different European countries changed from 'old' Julian Calendar to 'new' Gregorian Calendar: Denmark: 11 days omitted in February 1700. Sweden: Gradual change over 40 years (February 1712 had 30 days!). England: 11 days omitted in September 1752. Germany, Holland and others: Different for Catholics and protestants. -- Bjorn Engsig, Domain: bengsig@oracle.nl, bengsig@oracle.com Path: uunet!mcsun!orcenl!bengsig From IBM: auschs!ibmaus!cs.utexas.edu!uunet!oracle!bengsig
