function [gtime]=gregorian(julian)
%GREGORIAN  Converts digital Julian days to Gregorian calendar dates.  
%       Although formally, 
%       Julian days start and end at noon, here Julian days
%       start and end at midnight for simplicity.
%     
%       In this convention, Julian day 2440000 begins at 
%       0000 hours, May 23, 1968.
%
%     Usage: [gtime]=gregorian(julian) 
%
%        julian... input decimal Julian day number
%
%        gtime is a six component Gregorian time vector
%          i.e.   gtime=[yyyy mo da hr mi sec]
%                 gtime=[1989 12  6  7 23 23.356]
 
%        yr........ year (e.g., 1979)
%        mo........ month (1-12)
%        d........ corresponding Gregorian day (1-31)
%        h........ decimal hours
%
%  calls S2HMS
 
      julian=julian+5.e-9;    % kludge to prevent roundoff error on seconds

%      if you want Julian Days to start at noon...
%      h=rem(julian,1)*24+12;
%      i=(h >= 24);
%      julian(i)=julian(i)+1;
%      h(i)=h(i)-24;


% we'll assume that we will n ot be interested in any dates
% thousands of years in the past or more than 

      if julian<100000;
        julian=julian+2400001;
        % or, if you are starting at noon:
        % julian=julian+2400000.5;
      end;
