17 * int *pDay);
18 *
19 * Convert a SDN to a French republican calendar date. If the input SDN is
20 * before the first day of year 1 or after the last day of year 14, the
21 * three output values will all be set to zero, otherwise *pYear will be in
22 * the range 1 to 14 inclusive; *pMonth will be in the range 1 to 13
23 * inclusive; *pDay will be in the range 1 to 30 inclusive. If *pMonth is
24 * 13, the SDN represents one of the holidays at the end of the year and
25 * *pDay will be in the range 1 to 6 inclusive.
26 *
27 * long int
28 * FrenchToSdn(
29 * int year,

32 *
33 * Convert a French republican calendar date to a SDN. Zero is returned
34 * when the input date is detected as invalid or out of the supported
35 * range. The return value will be > 0 for all valid, supported dates, but
36 * there are some invalid dates that will return a positive value. To
37 * verify that a date is valid, convert it to SDN and then back and compare
38 * with the original.
39 *
40 * char *FrenchMonthName[14];
41 *
42 * Convert a French republican month number (1 to 13) to the name of the
43 * French republican month (null terminated). An index of 13 (for the
44 * "extra" days at the end of the year) will return the string "Extra". An
45 * index of zero will return a zero length string.
46 *
47 * VALID RANGE
48 *
49 * These routines only convert dates in years 1 through 14 (Gregorian
50 * dates 22 September 1792 through 22 September 1806). This more than
51 * covers the period when the calendar was in use.
52 *
53 * I would support a wider range of dates, but I have not been able to
54 * find an authoritative definition of when leap years were to have
55 * occurred. There are suggestions that it was to skip a leap year ever
56 * 100 years like the Gregorian calendar.
57 *
58 * CALENDAR OVERVIEW
59 *
60 * The French republican calendar was adopted in October 1793 during
61 * the French Revolution and was abandoned in January 1806. The intent
62 * was to create a new calendar system that was based on scientific
63 * principals, not religious traditions.
64 *
65 * The year is divided into 12 months of 30 days each. The remaining 5
66 * to 6 days in the year are grouped at the end and are holidays. Each
67 * month is divided into three decades (instead of weeks) of 10 days
68 * each.
69 *
70 * The epoch (first day of the first year) is 22 September 1792 in the
71 * Gregorian calendar. Leap years are every fourth year (year 3, 7,
72 * 11, etc.)
73 *
74 * TESTING
75 *
76 * This algorithm has been tested from the year 1 to 14. The source
77 * code of the verification program is included in this package.
78 *
79 * REFERENCES
80 *
81 * I have found no detailed, authoritative reference on this calendar.
82 * The algorithms are based on a preponderance of less authoritative
83 * sources.
