That knowledge and $3.50 US will get you a mocha latte.

 The Chinese Year has always been wrong, since it is still 
 assumes 01 Jan as the start day of the year. I think I 
 reported that to VMARK about 20 years ago...

 How about ICONV/OCONV with the NR function code.  Look in the
 Basic Reference Manual index for roman numerals.

A search on CDP reveals a couple interesting tidbits on this.

According to Oliver Elphick, the NR conversion in Universe uses a change
of alphabetic case to represent multiplication by 1000, so v=5 but V=5000.

According to Tom Rauschenbach, [sic] the author of the NR conversion
(someone named Hal) says 
that there was a reason for the upper/lower case distinction, but he can't
remember what it was.  He also claims that the Chinese New Year is wrong.
(I have no idea what that means.)

The D3 equivalent (as if anyone here cares) is the user exit U33.
And the Reality equivalent is conversion MCDR.
R83 had conversion MCR.

So many standards, so little time...

I recall this in the D3 manual and wondered why would anyone have such a
thing.

A=123
PRINT OCONV(A,U0033)

yields CXXIII

I guess it was for incrementing chapters or some other formal/outline number
sequences. I don't know what the maximum number is but OCONV(25000,U0033)
yields M. 50,000 and 100,000 didn't work.

My XIV cents.
