I already know that. It's the Gregorian calendar, the one we already
use and the one that will cause the year 2000 not to be a bissextile
year (problem that leads to a second Y2K bug on the 1st of March 2000,
as many computers will think they are the 29th of February). What I need
is the exact length of the year to build my own calendar which will be
different. Thank you in advance.
