Database
NengoCalc uses a comprehensive database of chronologcial data and era names to accomplish the calculation of the Western dates. The main algorithms and tables are derrived from Tsuchihashi. Starting with version 3, parts of the tables from Zoellner have been added to the database. A detailed comparison chart showing the differences between both works can be found here (PDF-File). Obvious errors in both works have been silently corrected.
