Re: [las_users] "noleap" calendar not recognised by addXML

[Roland Schweitzer <roland.schweitzer@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi Glenn,

You're right, addXML currently has no concept of a "no leap" year 
calendar.  I'm actively looking at a fix.

Depending on how much configuration information you're creating you 
might be able to work around the problem by creating the <arange> 
element for the time axis with an editor.
