[comp.text.tex] \age in LaTeX?

woo@ornl.gov (John W. Wooten) (05/17/91)

Has anyone developed a \def that would calculate a persons age
by something like

\age{mm/dd/yr}

e.g. 
The birthday (or other starting date of interest) is inserted and the def  then  
uses todays date to insert the correct number of years into the text.  The  
above would be \age{7/14/1979} if used today.

Produces:
The birthday (or other starting date of interest) is inserted and the def  then  
uses todays date to insert the correct number of years into the text.  The  
above would be 11 if used today.

This would be very useful in maintaining resumes and other documents where ages  
are reported or times since a date.

thanks,
