By "Date convention" I meant whether the 1904 date system is used (as on 
a Mac w/ Excel) or 1900 system is used.  Under the former, 1/2/1904 is a 
date-format of 1.0, under the latter 1/1/1900 is the date format of 1.0.

Ahhh, the R project.  Of course.  They're the reason I waded into this 
part of the world. <g>  Are things moving so that a result one sees in R 
would be identical to what one would see in Gnumeric, where the overlap 
exists? Now *that* would be nice indeed.
