The number of elapsed DAYS between these 2 dates is 60.
If the average number of days per month is assumed to be 30.4375, then 2
full months would be 60.875 days.
That means that 60 days DOES NOT span 2 full months of 30.4375 days: it
falls 0.875 days short for that.
Hence, the *intended* result is 1.
But dates from the 1st of a month to the 1st of the next month
should be considered to span a full month, shouldn't it?
If not, of what use would it be?
A month is *not* defined to be 30.4375 days.
Getting an average months is completely useless IMO.
Who wants to get such a result for what purpose?
Like I said: you can argue whether the functions are useful.
They are there for Delphi compatibility.
Feel free to provide other functions, I will happily accept them.
Michael.
