Hi, Don Shepherd

Thanks for the DBD algorithm link: https://alcor.concordia.ca/~gpkatch/gdat...rithm.html
Gary Katch also explain why it work: https://alcor.concordia.ca/~gpkatch/gdate-method.html

Based on the explanation, the day number calculation (and its inverse) are only limited by machine precision.

My old day function, using system time, only work for 1970 to 2038.
I coded above in Lua (using IEEE double). Now it can reach 24 trillion years ! Smile
