It does -- as stated in the TMG Manual, p. 25: "There are no adjustment
made for calendar changes within any individual country." Because of
this, the TMG calendar may be easily used to convert to the older calendar
in use at the time for any particular country. You must know when the
country converted to the Gregorian calendar and what the conversion factor
(the number of days subtracted) was. When you add that conversion factor
back in, then you can readily see the date as it was then.
