Re: leap years

[Steve Hankin <hankin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Jorg,

Ferret does leap years. In fact that is the only kind of year that
Ferret handles (I am working hard to get modelers' years in - 366 day,
360 day, etc.)

For example

  yes? PLOT SIN(T[T=1-jan-1998:1-jan-1999:24]/10)	! 1 year
  yes? PLOT/T=1-feb-1998:28-feb-1998 			! zoom in
  yes? PLOT/T=1-feb-1998:29-feb-1998	  ! Feb 29 '98 is a syntax error
