Re: Request for Coptic or Ethiopic Calendar

ICU for C 2.8 has had Julian day support, it has been in J before that 
even.

in C:
   UCalendar *myCal = ...;
   uint32_t  julian;
    julian = ucal_get(myCal, UCAL_JULIAN_DAY, &status);

In fact, support for multiple calendars was one of the driving factors 
behind converting all internal calculations to JDN, simplifies a lot.

Note that it is a modified julian day, demarcating at midnight rather 
than noon.    Thanks and keep in touch!
