DOCUMENTATION="\
  datecalc  Version 1.1

  datecalc does many manipulations with dates.
  datecalc -a is for date arithmetic
  datecalc -d or -D converts a date to the day of week
  datecalc -j converts to date to or from julian day
  datecalc -l outputs the last day of a month

  All dates must be between the years 1860 and 3999.

  datecalc -a followed by 7 parameters will calculate the
  number of days between two dates.  Parameters 2-4 and 6-8
  must be dates in ymd form, and parameter 5 must be a minus
  sign.  The output is an integer.  Example:

  > datecalc -a 1960 12 31 - 1922 2 2
  14212


  datecalc -a followed by 5 parameters will calculate the
  a new date offset from a given date,  Parameters 2-4 must
  be a date in ymd form, paramter 5 must be + or -, and 
  paramter 6 must be an integer.  Output is a new date.
  Example:

  > datecalc -a 1960 12 31 + 7
  1961 1 7


  datecalc -d followed by 3 parameters will convert a date
  to a day-of-week.  Parameters 2-4 must be a date in ymd 
  form.  Example:

  > datecalc -d 1960 12 31
  6


  datecalc -D is like -d except it displays the name of
  the day.  Example:

  > datecalc -D 1960 12 31
  Saturday


  datecalc -j followed by 3 parameters will convert a date
  to Modified Julian Day number.  Example:
  > datecalc -j 1960 12 31
  37299


  datecalc -j followed by a single parameter will convert
  a Modified Julian Day number to a date.  Example:
  > datecalc -j 37299
  1960 12 31


  datecalc -l followed by year and month will output the last
  day of that month.  Note that by checking the last day of
  February you can test for leap year.  Example:
  > datecalc -l 2002 2
  28"
