This just is just a useful little utility to find the day/date/week number etc. for any date. It is all included in the Gtk2::Calendar widget. It scrolls thru months, and years. I havn't tested it's limits, but it goes ahead many centuries, and will go to B.C. as negative years. Handy for archeologists. :-)
