This package also requires the overword package, also on CTAN. Current version: 1.3 Feb 17 1997 Frank Bennett fb@soas.ac.uk

dates – Macros for parsing date strings
This package provides a macro, \dateread, that can be used to parse date strings, either individually or recursively. The macro expects a human-readable syntax, which it converts into an integer (a “long date”) that can be more easily used for some types of computation. A set of companion macros and token registers is also provided for converting long dates into human-readable form.
