I am looking for a way to manipulate days and times by adding/subtracting X
number of days from the current date. For example, if todays date is
19990615 (date "+%Y%m%d"), how could I get the date two weeks from now - add
17 days to the current date? This is easy under OpenVMS using the DELTA
specifications. Even linux has the ability to manipulate dates in this
manner (date -d). I know I could write a script to manipulate the date
string as groups of integers but then I would have to accomodate for
calendar features. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
