My guess is that he's not looking to simply translate the calendar; but is rather looking to implement a calendar control for the Muslim Religious calendar, which is a lunar based calendar that doesn't jibe in simple fashion with the Gregorian solar calendar; it's similar to the Jewish Religious calendar, but has different months and start date. The only place I've seen solid logic for working with various calendars like this is this book: Title: Standard C Date/Time Library: Programming the World's Calendars and Clocks Author: Lance Latham Publisher: CMP Books (May 1, 1998) ISBN: 0879304960 http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0879304960/qid=1124900971 Don't let the "Standard C" appelation put you off, it actually uses a form of C stripped down to where it's approaching pseudo-code and should be VERY easy to follow even for a C novice. It's a terrific reference for anyone interested in calendars and time keeping. I also found a few websites that may be of interest: http://www.hoerstemeier.com/moon.htm http://www.calendarzone.com/Software/ http://emr.cs.uiuc.edu/~reingold/calendars.shtml http://ramsesgen.online.fr/en/ramcal.htm http://www.skerryvoresoftware.com/SimplyCalenders/ Stephen Posey [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ Delphi mailing list -> Delphi@elists.org http://www.elists.org/mailman/listinfo/delphi
