I am looking for a date time parser for the Apollo. The more ways you can type the date at it, the better. I don't really care what the parser puts out as long as it is consistant. I see cal_$decode_ascii_date and cal_$decode_ascii_time under the Aegis libraries. I was hoping on being able to pass it both the day and the time in one string in a variety of formats, though. I understand the UNIX calendar parses pretty well. Perhpas there is a UNIX routine I am overlooking?

Replying to your request (to Apollo@YALE.ARPA) for a date/time parser: I wrote a date/time parser for 4.1BSD UNIX a while back. It is avail- able via anonymous FTP from LOCUS.UCLA.EDU in "~ftp/arch/date.tar". You are welcome to grab a copy of it and use it in any way you like. -- Rich
