Sorry to reply to my own post, but I checked Wikipedia. You are
correct that the Julian calendar was long and needed days dropped.
Sorry for this again, sort of continuing a off-topic post all by myself.
I hoped someone else would of corrected me by this morning. But for
the archives, and in order not to leave anyone with false information
I was completely wrong. But I seem not to be the only one.
Google hits:
364.2424 - 3 hits
364.2425 - 7 hits
365.2424 - 410 hits
365.2425 - 39,200 hits

I may of missed some variations. But it is actually less than 365 1/4
as originally stated. So one of the 365.24 values is correct. I must
of subconsciously tried fixing this by changing the century
adjustment. It is a 400 year cycle. 3 of the 4 centuries in the cycle
are not leap years, subtracted out, the ones actually divisible by
400 remain leap years. 2000 fortunately for Y2K efforts was one that
was a normal leap year. Which has me wondering if 2100 will bring on
another calendar crisis to handle the fact that it is not a leap
year. Hopefully, a few Cobol programmers have been cryogenically
frozen to deal with IBM mainframe code at that time. I am available
if anyone wants to get a proactive start on that.
I will say no more. The original information before I jumped in was
completely accurate.
