+The datepicker-pro Package
+Author: D. P. Story
+Dated: 2016/05/06
+
+One of the (many) deficiencies of Adobe Acrobat Reader/Adobe Acrobat is that
+they have never supported a proper date picker. This package now supplies
+one. The \datepicker command creates a readonly text field and a push button
+to its right. Pressing on the pushbutton brings forth a SWF file displaying a
+calendar. The user then chooses a date from the calendar, the the date is
+transferred to the text field.
+
+This is a "pro" application, which, in the jargon of AeB, means that Adobe
+Distiller is required as the PDF creator. The only drivers supported, as a
+result, are dvips and dvipsone.
+
+As with all such special features, to experience the datepicker, Adobe Reader
+or Acrobat are needed. Most other PDF readers do not support form field, rich
+media annotations, and JavaScript.
+
+Unpack the distribution by latexing datepicker-pro.ins.
+
+Enjoy.
