Seriously, I bet that Historians have pretty big databases with precise dates before 1582, so this is probably a real issue to them. Just be glad we're not using the Roman calendar... "The second year of the reign of Octavius" would be kind of rough in a database. -- Bill Foote bill@pds.com PDS Corp, Los Angeles, CA USA uunet!promdist!bill
