So where do year 0 belong then? To the century BC? In that case I guess you would say that the number 0.1 belongs to the interval (-9.999999..., 0.99999999...) !? I just don't understand where this come from? I mean, year 0 is the equivalent of 1000 and 2000. There's nothing special about year 0 other than it appearing in two centuries (before and after Christ, but that's because we're negating the steady flow of time --- compare Fahrenheit to Kelvin...) I think each century starts with 0, 1000, 2000 and so on... /Michael In article <01bc750e$7441ea00$5af62581@dferner>, "Daniel P.
