1. What's Julian DA?


Julian DA is a DA type application that handles Julian date, which is used on Mainframes like IBM 9672.
It shows the Julian date equivalent to the Gregorian date entered, or oppositely, shows the Gregorian date equivalent to the Julian date entered.

Julian date represents the number of days accumulated from January 1st to the date.
It defines January 1st as 1, and add 1 per day, then December 31st will be 365 (366 in leap year).

Julian DA can calculate Reciprocal Julian date, which is a reciprocal of Julian date, as well.
This reciprocal defines January 1st as 364, and subtracts 1 per day, so December 31st should be 0.

2. How to Use


Installing Julian DA onto Palm Computing Platform should be done in the same manner as one for a conventional application. A previous version of Julian DA should be deleted prior to the installation if any.

Select Julian DA using DA compatible launcher like DA Launcher, QuickLauncher, LaunchMenu and so on. (Fig.2-1)
