   Yup. There is no year zero in the Christian calendar. That's why 2001 was   
   the first day of the new millennium. The year 2000 was two thousand years   
   after 1 BC. Throw in the 13 day correction when Europe switched from the   
   Julian to the Gregorian calendar, and 1 Jan 2000 was the anniversary of   
   precisely zip.   
      
   Stephen Jay Gould wrote several neat articles on the subject.   
      
   Since Paradox starts with 1 Jan 1 AD, I wonder how it handles the 13 day   
   correction, which occurs at different times in different countries?
