Re: getting the date

At 09:32p +0000 12/30/2003, Nigel Garvey didst inscribe upon an electronic papyrus:

Here we go again:

set theDate to (current date)
set {year:y, day:d} to theDate
copy theDate to b
set b's month to January

text 3 thru 8 of ((y * 10000 + (b - 2500000 - theDate) div -2500000 *
100 + d) as string)

OK, I give. Can you please *explain* that 2500000 arithmetic?
There has to be a science behind it...


thanks,
-boo
imagining others are curious too
