[DageEng]: "DAYS is a program designed to assist genealogists in finding dates of named days and generally navigate in and between the Julian and Gregorian calendars. The original program was in Danish and intended for Danish/Norwegian genealogists.
The database contains close to 5,000 names of days etc. The major part of these names are in Latin, many are in Danish, some in Norwegian, a few in Swedish, and some in German. The duchies Slesvig (Schleswig) and Holstein were part of the Danish Monarchy until 1864 and the German language was not uncommon in Danish towns up through the first half of the 19th century. In general the names are as they appear in Danish/Norwegian sources and include some names and feasts not found outside these countries. However, as most of the names are international (European), the program may also be of use outside the Scandinavian language area. ."
