Re: "proleptic_gregorian" Support in Date Routines

Hi Albert,

Can you tell us what the different units are that you're seeing in this one model, and how you are having to edit the files and resave them?

I'm not exactly sure which "rebasing" feature you are referring to in V6.2.0.

Would the "calendar_decode2" function get you the support you need for proleptic_gregorian?

I have this problem while processing some of the CMIP5 model's data. It is a trivial fix in datesW.c which I have attached here, I hope it has already been included in the next release.
