Hi all

While searching for a file in my HDD I found this old datefuns.xls (dated
from 2007)

After a little search I found out that it belongs to a set of test files
from back in 1999 (Yes, from the last century and/or millenium :) )

https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnumeric-list/1999-June/msg00005.html

The files are stored here
http://projects.gnome.org/gnumeric/func-tests/

The set was created to test Gnome's own Gnumeric compatibility with Excel
functions. (in fact there was a young developer named Michael Meeks
interested on those problems
https://mail.gnome.org/archives/gnumeric-list/1999-June/msg00004.html back
in 1999 :) )

The interesting part is that many of the functions are still not compatible
with LibreOffice 3.6.5.2 (haven't installed 4.0.1.2 which is already
available)

Can someone convince Yoshida san to look at these? :)

In addition there are even some Perl scripts to automagically test if the
builds pass the tests...
https://github.com/GNOME/gnumeric/blob/master/test/t1006-datefuns.pl

I believe this would hugely increment the Quality control (at least in
Calc...)

Cheers,
Pedro
