Notes
With JCLDate negative years and dates > year 9999 are valid in nearly all functions handling TDateTime. As people did not use 12 Months before year 0001, and supposedly will not after 9999, we just use the solar year and a month = 1/12 of a solar year in such years. Year 0 does not exist. To activate this function JCLDateTime must appear after SysUtils in the uses clause or it must be explicitly denoted as JCLDateTime.EncodeDate.
