495	Bimonthly and Bimensual TimeSet definition	Alfredo Torre	danirus	"Hi everybody,
I want to talk about the definition of two TimeSet made in _constant.tol file included at _initlibrary.tol:

.- Bimensual: spanish word for something made or something that occurs twice a month (spanish definition: Que se hace u ocurre dos veces al mes). And TOL's definition is D(1)*(M(1)+M(3)+M(5)+M(7)+M(9)+M(11)) and that is not the same.

I think this could be the right definition in TOL:
  TimeSet Bimensual = D(1) + D(15);
  TimeSet Bimestral = D(1)*(M(1)+M(3)+M(5)+M(7)+M(9)+M(11));

.- Bimonthly: this english word can de used for both spanish meanings (Bimensual, Bimestral) as we can see in these links:
http://www.wordreference.com/es/translation.asp?tranword=bimonthly
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=bi%2Dmonthly

I think this could be one definition in TOL:
  TimeSet Bimonthly = D(1)*(M(1)+M(3)+M(5)+M(7)+M(9)+M(11));
  TimeSet Semimonthly = D(1) + D(15);

Hope this help.

Thanks,
Alfredo Torre"	defect	closed	normal		TimeSetAlgebra	head	normal	duplicate		imendez
