// HISTORY
// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// May 17, 2003: Fixed bug in parseDate() for dates <1970
// March 11, 2003: Added parseDate() function
// March 11, 2003: Added "NNN" formatting option. Doesn't match up
//                 perfectly with SimpleDateFormat formats, but
//                 backwards-compatability was required.

// ------------------------------------------------------------------
// These functions use the same 'format' strings as the
// java.text.SimpleDateFormat class, with minor exceptions.
// The format string consists of the following abbreviations:
//
// Field        | Full Form          | Short Form
// -------------+--------------------+-----------------------
// Year         | yyyy (4 digits)    | yy (2 digits), y (2 or 4 digits)
// Month        | MMM (name or abbr.)| MM (2 digits), M (1 or 2 digits)
//              | NNN (abbr.)        |
// Day of Month | dd (2 digits)      | d (1 or 2 digits)
// Day of Week  | EE (name)          | E (abbr)
// Hour (1-12)  | hh (2 digits)      | h (1 or 2 digits)
// Hour (0-23)  | HH (2 digits)      | H (1 or 2 digits)
// Hour (0-11)  | KK (2 digits)      | K (1 or 2 digits)
// Hour (1-24)  | kk (2 digits)      | k (1 or 2 digits)
// Minute       | mm (2 digits)      | m (1 or 2 digits)
// Second       | ss (2 digits)      | s (1 or 2 digits)
// AM/PM        | a                  |
//
// NOTE THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MM and mm! Month=MM, not mm!
// Examples:
//  "MMM d, y" matches: January 01, 2000
//                      Dec 1, 1900
//                      Nov 20, 00
//  "M/d/yy"   matches: 01/20/00
//                      9/2/00
//  "MMM dd, yyyy hh:mm:ssa" matches: "January 01, 2000 12:30:45AM"
