Nice. But please don't credit me about the calendar - all I did in Amos
Shapira's code was to fix a tiny year 2000 code. It took me about 10
minutes to fix, and I don't deserve much credit for that "feat".

I do have my own Hebrew calendar software, but I never released, so it
can't be the code you have.

Another very good free-software Hebrew calendar is Zvi Har'El's Gauss, a demo
of which you can see in http://www.math.technion.ac.il/~rl/luach/5764.html -
it also has parashot hashavua, and support for holidays in Israel and in the
diaspora (download from http://www.math.technion.ac.il/calendar/gauss/).

By the way, if you plan to incorporate holiday-finding in your code, you
should be aware that the Yom-Ha'atzmaut-finding code in all programs I
know (except the aforementioned "gauss") is broken, after the latest law
passed which determines that this year it will be on Tuesday, not Monday.
It's very easy to fix, so if you need my help, tell me.
