Abstract

A Fortran computer program is presented which converts Lowland Maya Long Count dates into their equivalent Gregorian dates, and the reverse, for the period post-A.D. 100. The program uses the Modified Thompson 2 Correlation Constant, but other Correlation Constants can also be employed. This program does not offer a new correlation hypothesis.
