Package mdate-1.5.6-1

Mdate is a utility that converts Gregorian dates to Mayan Long Count dates. It was originally an implementation of some algorithms published by N. Dershowitz and E.M. Reingold in their book Calendrical Calculations , but is now a GPL project and uses some code derived from other GPL sources. Mdate is an evolving project, with the desire to provide a freely-available (meaning non-commercial) mayan date utility for Unix and other operating systems. To the best of my knowledge, a simple Unix utility like this has not been available before. At this stage it has only been tested thoroughly on a Linux system.
