It accepts almost any format except ctime! I think our local person has fixed it to also understand ctime, I'm not sure. The source is rather complex - it uses lex and/or yacc and several header files. I also have a single file unreadable version that compiles into a getdate subroutine. Either on request, or I can mail them to the mailing list (well, gee, it really shouldn't go out on usenet, they all have it anyway, and it's kind of big.)
