   Seems a far more reasonable system

      Hi Joe,
      The problem is that the Coptic calendar treats every 4th year as a leap year. Since a solar year is actual 365.24219 days, and not 365.25 days, this has the same problems as the Julian calendar and quickly goes out of sync with the solar year. In the Gregorian calendar, if a year is divisible by 4, not divisible by 100, and divisible by 400, then it is a leap year, otherwise it is not.
