Gabor,
Thank you very much. That is a wonderful article and will help very
much. Might I ask which date schema do you prefer?
Thank you
Joe

I have been working with R extensively for several months. I switched
from SAS and Matlab to R. My question is
Can anyone explain the benefits and detractions of the 'Date' package
verses the 'date' package and verses 'POSIX' dates.
I have noticed several other packages use one or the other. Rmetrics
seems to standardize on POSIX. I can only see differences in default
formats, and the starting counting number be it 1 1 1900 or something
else.
I am trying to standardize code that I write for research and to provide
to my students on one date schema. The documentation is very good on
using a specific package, but I can not tell the which one provides the
broadest coverage across R packages or is just the better one to use.
I know all of you have more experience with some of these and I am just
soliciting your opinions and comments.
Thank you
Joe
