>From http://aa.usno.navy.mil/data/docs/JulianDate.html:
Julian dates (abbreviated JD) are simply a continuous count of days and fractions since noon Universal Time on January 1, 4713 BCE (on the Julian calendar). Almost 2.5 million days have transpired since this date. Julian dates are widely used as time variables within astronomical software. Typically, a 64-bit floating point (double precision) variable can represent an epoch expressed as a Julian date to about 1 millisecond precision. Note that the time scale that is the basis for Julian dates is Universal Time, and that 0h UT corresponds to a Julian date fraction of 0.5.

Just curious? Please give an example. Some archaic Unix based date format from what I can see. It is still used by some banks. The format is 0YYDDD, so today would be 002150 (assuming there have been 150 days total this year).
