dates.dtx
(C) Frank Bennett 1996, 1997

This package provides facilities for parsing a string
of dates in a loosely structured format, returning the
result in an orderly fashion in count register.  The
parser, meant to be called by other packages, is extensible,
and full documentation is provided.  A demonstration
file is included in the distribution which shows off
its major features.

This package also requires the overword package,
also on CTAN.
