According to http://www.hermetic.ch/cal_stud/jdn.htm a Julian Date can be a date in the Julian calendar *or* a Julian Day Number. Section 9 of that page states that "Julian day number 0 corresponds to -4713-11-24 GC, which is -4712-01-01 JC" so datetime(0) does correctly convert Julian Day 0 to a (proleptic) Gregorian date but not to a Julian Date as (I think) I thought. That'll teach me to post follow-ups when the MiL is chattering about knitting. :( Martin ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
