Just one comment on calandars, not all of the world was on
the same calander until 1753, so the same event, say some
thing wide spread like a volcano eruption, can be found
recorded as happening on diffrent days/dates.

I believe Britan was the last hold out because the "pesants"
thought they where going to be cheated out of 11 days wages
if the calander was updated.

Some popular programs, like early versions of Lotus, forgot
that years divisable by 400 are leap years, like 2000, as
you pointed out.   One more thing, the "New Malenia" starts
on 2001, NOT 2000...
