Hello again,=20

some more functions I want to share.
These are time or calendar functions, as they exist also apparently=20
in the Matlab financial toolbox (according to their online docs.
As I don't own Matlab myself, much less the financial toolbox,=20
these files are not tainted by copyright issues.)

These functions are useful for calculating time periods for interest=20
calculations.=20

Functions: (separate mails)
=09today (attached)
=09yeardays
=09year
=09month
=09day
=09hour
=09minute
=09second.

Best regards,=20

Stefan Burger.
