Vic,
I hate to pick nits too 8-), but the routines I use have a year 0 A.D.
since they are to be used by a computer, and computers do understand the
concept of 0. Before anybody else jumps in, yes, I know there is no year
0 in the Christian Era calendar. There is also no year 1, no year 2, no
year 3, … , at least until 36? A.D. when some monk decided that the
calendar should start at the Birth of Christ. Since nobody knew when that
was, he took a W.A.G. and decided this year was approx. 360 years before.
Yes, this means the new millenium starts on January 1, 2000 instead of
January 1, 2001 as the "experts" will tell you.
