In publication and display, we often want to put automatically the current year in roman numbers but how ? Here's a convertion function that converts integer values between 1 and 3999 to the roman numbers. You may use it for many purpose like pages footers and headers where the current year is written as a Copyright for documents or web sites. The best place to put code is in a library function that you call when needed. method intToRoman(nIntegerSI SmallInt) String ; By Pierre Charbonneau P.
