Page 23 of the Hacker's Guide to Visual FoxPro 7.0:

[For example, GOMONTH() won't go back farther than the year 1753, the

year after England took on the "Gregorian shift" of the calendar,

jumping 11 days overnight and adding the bizarre leap-year rules of

"every four, except in years ending in 00's, except those divisible by

400."]

Great book, highly recommended. :)
