Southeast Asian Calendrical Software
Australian National Univ., Canberra, Australia
Supplied note: "A Macintosh program designed [by Chris Eade, ANU
and Lars Gislen (larsg@thep.lu.se), Lund Univ. - ed.] to generate the calendrical and
astronomical data required to verify the historical records of
Mainland Southeast Asia. The program's main point of entry into the
system is 638 AD, the start of Chulasakarat and of the Burmese Era;
but it also reaches back to 690 BC, the start of Anchansakarat, an era
that avoids the use of negative numbers when dealing with events
before the Buddha Era. The technicalities and complications of
the system are explained in J. C. Eade, The Calendrical Systems of
Mainland Southeast Asia, in: Handbuch der Orientalistik, E. J. Brill,
Leiden, 1995."
