If you have a Macintosh there is a share ware product called Calendar 2000
(available at www.wundermoosen.com) that can take you back past year 0 (were
there a year 0) and it even takes into account the various reforms and
nudges that have been necessary over the centuries including an adjustment
that is anticipated (possibly, luckily this feature is an option) in 2000
years (the first Y4K compliant software) You can also view a month, week, or
day, in Gregorian, Julian, Muslim, and Jewish formats as well as view the
phases of the moon. There are two data bases that are interesting to
historians one is the "This Day in History Data Base" which is very full and
a database of about 20 calendar reforms.  It also comes with text files that
allow you to import all of the Saint's Days.

Oh, and you can also keep your own appointments, to do's, and such in it,
though these features are not near so robust.

I thought I would add this for any other museum professional and/or
historian who needs to routinely look up past dates and days, jump between
calendars systems, and/or calculate dates across those missing 11 (or is it
7?) days that I can never remember happened in what country in what year.

Hope someone finds this useful, it's a great program.
