Date is an abstract Custom Class of the Magic User Interface © by Stefan Stuntz.
It's a subclass of notify-class and only usable for developers who want to
build subclasses of Date.mcc!

The idea of this class was born during developing my Gregor application.

MUI abstract public custom class allowing easy handling of dates. Because it is
abstract it is only usefull for developers who are working with classes that
are based on Date.mcc (like DateString.mcc), or who want to build their own
classes based on Date.mcc.

Date.mcc features:
- Handles years from 8 to 8000
- Supports the Gregorian calendar reform
- Supports MUIM_Import and MUIM_Export
- Supports drops of other date objects and date-strings
- A week can begin with any weekday
- The date can be read as day/month/year format or as JD or MJD
- The date range can be restricted
- Method to set the current date
- Methods for increasing and decreasing the date
- Method to compare with another date object



IMPORTANT NOTE:

This package may not be included on any further Aminet CD-ROMs unless authors
contributing their software to the CD-ROM, (without mentioning distribution
"NoCD") are granted a copy of the CD *completely* *free* *of* *charge*.

The Meeting Pearls IV CD-ROM demonstrates that a Freebie policy is also
possible with "very-low-budget" CD-ROMs (*), so Aminet should quickly
re-establish the same Freebie policy it used up to Aminet CD 13.
