Hi Tim,

Nope. One of the problems with such a routine is that there are so
many possible text formats for dates & times. If it's a fixed,
unlocalizable format then parsing it is pretty easy, otherwise it
quickly becomes a difficult problem. This is especially true if
you're relying on user input for the date. Palm apps typically use
the SelectDay() and SelectTime() functions for date & time input,
which avoids the issues of parsing a user entered string.
