Wasn't it the French who tried the 10 day week after the revolution? Year I and II of the Republic, 1st Brumaire and all that. I think they only got to year II and then went back to the normal 12 month year.

AMong other things, it messes up system logs, jobs theoretically "finishing before they started" et.al. FDR pushed it into place, saying it was to conserve national resources and improve productivity. At least it wasn't as bad as Lenin's attempt to change the week to 10 days to squeeze more work out of the newly "liberated" working class. Or one president ("Liberal Party" <g>) in my wife's birth country of Honduras, who very seriously proposed "abolishing Sundays" to grow production. (It was not a joke, but he certainly provided joke fodder for years!) - Alan _______________________________________________ This is the Non-Technical Discussion about the AS400 / iSeries (Midrange-NonTech) mailing list To post a message email: Midrange-NonTech@xxxxxxxxxxxx To subscribe, unsubscribe, or change list options, visit: http://lists.midrange.com/mailman/listinfo/midrange-nontech or email: Midrange-NonTech-request@xxxxxxxxxxxx Before posting, please take a moment to review the archives at http://archive.midrange.com/midrange-nontech.
