I remember back a few years that the Naval Observatory had a great algorithim for just this. Basically it stores the number or seconds (or fractions) since a specific year (like 0).

It was one of those free publications available from Pueblo CO. I know there has to be someone else out there who would have this info, but if not, try the government's listings.

Sorry I couldn't be of more help.

Subject:        Looking for date/time algorithims

Howdy,

I'm really tired of reinventing the wheel, fire, sliced bread and canned beer.  Anyone
know of a good website or book dealing with algorithims dealing with date/time
transformations?  Yeah I've done all this before but I'm tired of doing what other people
have already done.  My current problem deals with elapsed time. Any help appreciated.

Regards,
Jim Trudeau
