+/**************************************************************************
+ *
+ * This package defines a set of routines that convert calendar dates to
+ * and from a serial day number (SDN). The SDN is a serial numbering of
+ * days where SDN 1 is November 25, 4714 BC in the Gregorian calendar and
+ * SDN 2447893 is January 1, 1990. This system of day numbering is
+ * sometimes referred to as Julian days, but to avoid confusion with the
+ * Julian calendar, it is referred to as serial day numbers here. The term
+ * Julian days is also used to mean the number of days since the beginning
+ * of the current year.
+ *
+ * The SDN can be used as an intermediate step in converting from one
+ * calendar system to another (such as Gregorian to Jewish). It can also
+ * be used for date computations such as easily comparing two dates,
+ * determining the day of the week, finding the date of yesterday or
+ * calculating the number of days between two dates.
+ *
+ * When using this software on 16 bit systems, be careful to store SDNs in
+ * a long int, because it will not fit in the 16 bits that some systems
+ * allocate to an int.
+ *
+ * For each calendar, there are two routines provided. One converts dates
+ * in that calendar to SDN and the other converts SDN to calendar dates.
+ * The routines are named SdnTo<CALENDAR>() and <CALENDAR>ToSdn(), where
+ * <CALENDAR> is the name of the calendar system.
+ *
+ * SDN values less than one are not supported. If a conversion routine
+ * returns an SDN of zero, this means that the date given is either invalid
+ * or is outside the supported range for that calendar.
+ *
+ * At least some validity checks are performed on input dates. For
+ * example, a negative month number will result in the return of zero for
+ * the SDN. A returned SDN greater than one does not necessarily mean that
+ * the input date was valid. To determine if the date is valid, convert it
+ * to SDN, and if the SDN is greater than zero, convert it back to a date
+ * and compare to the original. For example:
+ *
+ * int y1, m1, d1;
+ * int y2, m2, d2;
+ * long int sdn;
+ * ...
+ * sdn = GregorianToSdn(y1, m1, d1);
+ * if (sdn > 0) {
+ * SdnToGregorian(sdn, &y2, &m2, &d2);
+ * if (y1 == y2 && m1 == m2 && d1 == d2) {
+ * ... date is valid ...
+ * }
+ * }
+ *
