I have needed to do calculations on dates before 1930 for some historical
research.  Acutally Palm has just about the right time span for a 32 bit
"number of seconds since" field.  They should make it 64 bit in 4.0 - then
they could adjust the base so I can go back into the dark ages, and still
be able to say which day of the week a Star Trek episode is occuring on.
