/* jdn.c -- Julian Day Number computation
**
** public domain Julian Day Number functions
**
** Based on formulae originally posted by
**    Tom Van Flandern / Washington, DC / metares@well.sf.ca.us
**       in the UseNet newsgroup sci.astro.
**    Reposted 14 May 1991 in FidoNet C Echo conference by
**       Paul Schlyter (Stockholm)
** Minor corrections, added JDN to julian, and recast into C by
**    Raymond Gardner  Englewood, Colorado
**
** Synopsis:
**      long ymd_to_jdn(int year, int month, int day, int julian_flag)
**      void jdn_to_ymd(long jdn, int *year, int *month, int *day,
**                                                      int julian_flag)
**      year is negative if BC
**      if julian_flag is >  0, use Julian calendar
**      if julian_flag is == 0, use Gregorian calendar
**      if julian_flag is <  0, routines decide based on date
**
** These routines convert Gregorian and Julian calendar dates to and 
** from Julian Day Numbers.  Julian Day Numbers (JDN) are used by 
** astronomers as a date/time measure independent of calendars and 
** convenient for computing the elapsed time between dates.  The JDN 
** for any date/time is the number of days (including fractional 
** days) elapsed since noon, 1 Jan 4713 BC.  Julian Day Numbers were 
** originated by Joseph Scaliger in 1582 and named after his father 
** Julius, not after Julius Caesar.  They are not related to the 
** Julian calendar. 
** 
** For dates from 1 Jan 4713 BC thru 12 Dec Feb 32766 AD, ymd_to_jdn() 
** will give the JDN for noon on that date.  jdn_to_ymd() will compute 
** the year, month, and day from the JDN.  Years BC are given (and 
** returned) as negative numbers.  Note that there is no year 0 BC; 
** the day before 1 Jan 1 AD is 31 Dec 1 BC.  Note also that 1 BC, 
** 5 BC, etc. are leap years.
** 
** Pope Gregory XIII decreed that the Julian calendar would end on 
** 4 Oct 1582 AD and that the next day would be 15 Oct 1582 in the 
** Gregorian Calendar.  The only other change is that centesimal 
** years (years ending in 00) would no longer be leap years 
** unless divisible by 400.  Britain and its possessions and 
** colonies continued to use the Julian calendar up until 2 Sep 
** 1752, when the next day became 14 Sep 1752 in the Gregorian 
** Calendar.  These routines can be compiled to use either 
** convention.  By default, the British convention will be used.  
** Simply #define PAPAL to use Pope Gregory's convention. 
** 
** Each routine takes, as its last argument, a flag to indicate 
** whether to use the Julian or Gregorian calendar convention.  If 
** this flag is negative, the routines decide based on the date 
** itself, using the changeover date described in the preceding 
** paragraph.  If the flag is zero, Gregorian conventions will be used, 
** and if the flag is positive, Julian conventions will be used.
