   Nah.  It's only a 'function' stub.  You would need to wrap a main program   
   section around it, and call the function.   
      
   Have a look at a couple of other utils from Horst's archive.  There's one that   
   might simplify the job called "what.com".  Another one that might help is   
   "isdate.com".  I haven't played with either, so caveat emptor.  ;-)   
      
   Cheers,   
   Paul.
