but the end of months is a KNOWN thing, calculated out forever, look at rainmain. with that known constant of dates, it would be easy to code it such that anything end of month that asks for a incrementer of "m" would be easy to assume that.
so, with that, id say a new incrementer of precise calendar month would be best. tw On Thu, Apr 2, 2009 at 2:50 PM, Jason Fisher <[email protected]> wrote: > > Definitely not odd, when you think through all the possible use cases.
