KBK (7 July 2004) The functionality proposed for the clock command in TIP #173 includes a %J format group that gives the Julian Day Number. Since TIP #173 also proposes using the -format option on [clock scan], you can do input as well of output of Julian Day.

 Description: Makefile to build for Windows as well as most Unix variants.
        Does not make use of TEA. This code is based on the 1583 epoch
        decreed by Papal intervention.  J_Date units are measured in days
        and J_Time units are measured in seconds.
        Currently at version 0.0 .
