Many systems use Julian day numbers. Days since noon GMT on 1 January 4713 BC in the proleptic Julian calendar. This would be preferable if we ever want historical dates.
Is there a known way to calculate number of seconds between days since noon GMT on 1 January 4713 BC in the proleptic Julian calendar, and some other point in time (beginning of Unix time, or beginning of Smalltalk time)? If so, can you give a pointer as to how to determine this?
Hope this helps,
