> * calendars changed often, so how is the beginning of a year defined ?

I could be wrong, but I think the convention is that the dates that are used 
(until the introduction of the Gregorian calendar, anyway) are reckoned 
according to the Julian calendar; for dates before the introduction of the 
Julian calendar, the "Julian proleptic calendar" is used.  At

http://sunearth.gsfc.nasa.gov/eclipse/SEhelp/calendars.html

under the section "8.  The Julian Calendar," it says,

<<  Today the principles of the Julian calendar continue to be used by 
chronologists. The Julian proleptic calendar is formed by applying the rules 
of the Julian calendar to times before Caesar's reform. This provides a 
simple chronological system for correlating other calendars and serves as 
the basis for the Julian day numbers. >>

'Hope this helps!  :-)

Then my editing programs do all the work.  Otherwise I have
to cut and paste by hand.

Thanks!

The %I, %S and %A lines are crucial

Please give all the terms, not just the new terms
if you are extending a sequence

If you are sending a comment, at least give
the first few terms in the %S line
