 VC> What is it used for within a BBS environment.

it is simply an external tool to determine the day of the year number 
(mistakenly called julian day by many)... it executes a shelled command and can 
pass that DoY number to the shell as a parameter... it may be formatted 
according to a template (@###, @##), too... you can also give it certain things 
like "last friday" or "this coming friday" and it will give you the DoY number 
for that day...

that's what i remember from the original which i haven't used in a very long 
time since switching over to using my command processor's built-in date 
routines of which one is the DoY number... that and a little math based on the 
current DoW (Day of Week) number make it easy to figure out the DoY for this 
coming friday or last friday or pretty much any day of the year ;)
