In looking for an explanation of why only those four Arabic locales have an Islamic calendar, I stumbled across a guy that was fed up with trying to convert between calendar systems, so he created a database whose index key is the Julian Day. Then he reconciled the Gregorian and Julian Calendar dates to Julian Days, to populate the database. As his focus in history changes, he adds other calendars, as appropriate, to the database. jonathon -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
