Date-math fixes in Tiger


  • Subject: Date-math fixes in Tiger

I see some of our favourite long-standing date-math bugs have been fixed:
 :-)

  (date "Wednesday 19 January 1972 03:14:07") + (-1)
  --> date "Wednesday 19 January 1972 03:14:06"
  --> (Not date "Saturday 12 December 1835 20:45:50")

  set fred to "1/1/1902"
  (date "Thursday 1 January 1903 00:00:00") - (date fred)
  --> 31536000
  --> (No need to 'get' date fred first)
  --> (No "result too large" error with two pre-1904 dates)
