[comp.sources.wanted] Routines to add/subtract days from a date

car@trux.UUCP (Chris Rende) (07/13/89)

I need a routine that will give the date of the last Friday.

Any routines with add or subtract days from a date would be helpful.

Thanks,

car.

Here we go again.  No sources from yours truly, but programs doing
just that.  They can be downloaded with anonymous ftp from the
University of Vaasa, Finland, site 128.214.12.3.  Look for packages
/pc/ts/tsutil27.arc and /pc/ts/tsutlc15.arc.  And, if you want
calendar sources, there are some excellent ones in Dr.Dobb's
Journal, June 1989, page 148.
