Date sytems dealing with telex support in Linux? Strange, but while on the topic, I saw a question in a book, asking the reader to write a program in C, which could give you the the day of the week on which a given date falls, provided one knew the Julian day for that date. As in, 1st Jan = Julian day 1 and so on. Admittedly, I don't know the ABC of C, but would it be possible to, using that program, to find the Julian day if one knew the date, and the day of the week? And consequently, it would be nice to insert such a program into some init script, such that on every bootup, it would give you the date, time and the Julian day of the year...
Oh, and the 24-hour a day, 60-minutes an hour and 60-seconds a minute system originated from the Babylonians.
