Why would it need to be hand-edited? Calculating the Gregorian dates of the Jewish years can be completely automatic. First try to simply use existing free software out there (e.g., hcal, luach) you can try looking at its code, and at worst I can try to dig up the Jewish calendar code that I once wrote but never published. But you shouldn't need to do anything manually! The bigger question, I think, is - can this "judaic.calendar" file contain data for several years, or just a single year? Like I said, I consider the data for a single year to be *worthless*, and I wouldn't even bother updating it. After all, what do you do in December when you want to plan your Pesach vacation, and mistakenly find the date of last year's Pesach? Finally, I'm at a loss - what is this file good for anyway?
