Yes I had a look at mktime() and date() and tried to think of an easy
way to do it but couldn't... you can convert both dates to a UNIX
timestamp (millseconds after whatever date) then do a subtraction... and
then what? Easy to work out number of days from millseconds as a day's
length is fixed but to go to months is harder as of course you need more
information than just the actual elapsed time. Similar problam with
mktime() as it's designed for actual dates, not differences between days.
What is XEmacs calc- mode and calendar mode? I'm not all that familiar
with Unix I'm afraid..
Thanks for your reply!
