The Holy Roman Empire used the Emacs Julian calendar for only four decades, from 1544 to 1582. That is a cryptic statement -- you're making some distinction that you have not explained. Please explain your distinction if you would like to convince people with it. -- Dr Richard Stallman President, Free Software Foundation 51 Franklin St Boston MA 02110 USA www.fsf.org www.gnu.org Skype: No way!
