Hi again Don,

I took a look at your dates program and a problem came up.
When i ran the demo, i got an Eu error:
  "can't find mylog.e in...(various directories)"
After remming out 'mylog.e' it ran ok however and looks
kinda neat when it's running :)
Perhaps you can rem that out or include the file?

I tried a few of the functions and they seemed to work ok,
but there was no help file so i didnt know what you expected
from all those function calls.  If there was a help file that
described all the function calls (or at least the main ones)
i think it would be much easier to use.  It might also help
to list the allowable input parameters and limitations, and
perhaps even what some of your goals where with this lib.

Just an idea...
The function "getSecToMin(atom secs)"
might be faster if you replace it with some Eu's functions:

function getSecToMin(atom secs)
  integer mins
  mins=floor(secs/60)
  secs=secs-mins*60
  return (mins,secs}--sprintf too if you like.
end function

but i didnt know what the max secs the function might receive.



Take care,
Al

And, good luck with your Euphoria programming!
