Yes, i looked at it intently, before emailing, and saw nothing to do what i 
outlined above. There is a converter to go from seconds to year and day-
count, but in the example you gave, i don't see how day 357 = xmas. How 
isn't it the day before or after? How do i get the day (1,2,3 etc or mon, tues 
etc) and month (1,2,3 etc or jan feb etc)?
