Subject: LOOKING FOR A UTILITY
Lines: 20


Hi 

I am looking for a utility on unix that given two dates, returns the 
difference between the two dates where the dates are specified in
<year,month,day,hours,minutes,seconds>. It takes into account leap 
year and daylight saving time etc. The difference could also be in 
number of years, months, days, hours, minutes and seconds or in some
other format.

Please inform me if it is already available on standard unix or if somebody
wrote for his/her own purposes.

Thanking you.
