You will need software to convert normal date/time to Nepali Bikram Sambat system. I have heard that the conversion is quite simple but the "Pandits" do not want to discuss it in detail and that after about 50 years, the algorithms used by various people in Nepal diverge by a day or two. However, I do not have knowledge of this algorithm being in the open source.
Why don't we make an effort to bring this algorithm in the open so that everyone can code it simply? Otherwise, the use of Bikram Sambat will decline. The database way of doing things is quite popular but it is not an elegant solution: have a long table from a 100 years patro about which month has how many days. There are some free software that people have released for non- commercial use, but they are not free/open-source.
