Hi, Daniel!

This sounds very interesting.  Is this date/time-manipulation code
publically available?

I think a comfortable, complete date/time-manipulation is one thing that
Scheme is sorely lacking.  We have SRFI-19, but it is a bit unwieldy and
not very complete. (how, for example, do you convert a given time in a
zone to another zone?  How do you go back a month? etc)

Cheers,
Peter
