I missed a % somewhere. Working from memory, was a couple or three years ago
(and so predates your post and I am sure I posted it somewhere though I
can't find it :-) ). 6.5 does sound more likely now that I am prodded about
it. Forgot about those blokes next door to us, the Philippinos.

Handy looking code, if I ever need to fiddle with dates.
In general I get mightily narked when that upstart country, the U S of A,
tries to lay down the law on how things should work for the 95.5% rest of
the world[1]. Sure they may have invented the internet but we the Aussies,
tiny as we are, have invented the odd thing or two, the rotary lawn mower,
the Hills clothes hoist, much more practical things than this fiddly
internet stuff. And those blighters can't even spell.
[1] <aside> Skiing in California: Had to fill in a survey before they would
give me a lift pass. The damn computer insisted that my "zip code" *must* be
5 numbers and simply would not believe that I lived in the state of NSW in
<shudder> another country. Demographics stuffed. They have no idea where
their clients really come from. Head in sand or in this case, snow. </aside>
