Mdate is a command-line utility that converts Gregorian dates to Mayan Long Count dates. It was originally an implementation of some algorithms published by N. Dershowitz and E.M. Reingold in their book Calendrical Calculations , but is now a GPL project and uses some code derived from other GPL sources.
Mdate is an evolving project, with the desire to provide a freely-available (meaning non-commercial) mayan date utility for Unix and other operating systems. To the best of my knowledge, a simple, usable system utility like this has not been available before. At this stage it has only been tested thoroughly on a Linux system.
Future plans will include GUI interfaces to GTK, Qt, kde and maybe even GNOME. Mdate 0.5.6 was the last of the 0.5.x series. The next series starts at 1.0.x.
The old crosswinds site remains, but will not be updated. Mdate 1.0.0beta2 was completed including tkmdate, a Tcl/Tk interface to mdate for X users.
Contributors to the project are sought for beta-testing and porting to other OS's!
