Thanks for considering this. I .. will have to reread Geoff's concerns and spend real time with preparing a note, judiciously looking into that instead of just throwing code words. This will take some time, but i will do this. re #0005658: Dear kre; in reality this code is much too simple minded per se, as it only ever was designed to deal with so-called Christian calendars, while users of other programming languages than ISO/POSIX C have a notion of lots of others. It seems to me that breaking down super high precision times to second intervals is good enough to describe human calendars however, human sense of time is not a stock exchange where market values of gold diggers, Mercedes-Benz or LandRover or Suzuki or you name it, varies on microsecond level; they also bet on the life on animals who's mothers are not even born yet, this surely is bizarrely schizophrenic and if you would listen to your own crown prince or his "dear papa" that we unfortunately lost last year you would surely make a distinction in between life and art. And while we all will not witness it, to make it plain that if future humans could do time travels our generations would surely have been suspended to avoid that much loss of life, in my opinion, extending the year field to more than 32-bit seems unnecessary for the planet that we live on; whether it still can support living by then, or whether the clowds, if any remain, will look like upside down pyramids, as people seem to have suggested in a 70s film from New Zealand i think it was ... is surely completely off-topic. Will do when i have some hours time for this!
