Re: hebrew patch for jewish calendar

to make things clearer English would have been much better... otiyot == latters techidot == singles asarot == tens meot == hundreds In short, there's a weight for every letter in the alphabet, and numbers are generated from a combination of letters. At 23:35 30/10/2002, moshe doron wrote:
