julian_civil

Description

julian_civil converts a provided  Julian date into a Civil date.

Gory details

The function presented here is just one example of an algorithm to convert an Julian date to a Civil date. It starts by calling julian_jdn to calculate the Julian day number for the provided Julian date. From this Julian day number, the Christian year, month and day are derived by calling jdn_civil.

Note that the Julian year is approximately 11 days shorter than the Civil year. This means that the Julian calendar ``runs faster´´ and will eventually overtake the Civil Calendar.
