Question Kornshell convdate
Hello,

I'm currently doing some programming using the Kornshell environment. I have just been on a Unix course where our instructor gave us some coding examples. I am using one of these examples to solve a few problems.

However, the code examples use a function called 'convdate' to convert a date into seconds since 1970. I do not have this function on this version of Unix. I have looked on the internet and found that it is a common function to have.

Please could someone advise me as to where to get a copy of this function from. How to install it on Unix so I (and preferably my other 3 programming colleagues) can see and use it.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Thanks.
