Julian Days and Eon seconds

[Peter Haworth]

Why do I keep getting involved in these off-the-wall topics!

I have a need to convert dates back and forth between the formats used by sqlite and human readable formats. LC has me covered for text string dates and dates stored in seconds but SQLIte can also store dates in Julian format, defined as the number of days since 11/24, 4714 BC.  I guess it's a matter of conjecture as what's significant about that date but aside form that, I can't find anything in he LC dictionary that leads me to believe it can deal with dates in that format.  Anyone come up with a way to deal with Julian dates/
