In package foreign, the read.epiinfo() does not read dates properly. (1) In reading a dataset, read.epiinfo made many dates NA. (2) Instead of reading dates to a POSIXct format, why not read to a mm/dd/yyyy format such as "06/22/2004"? As you may know, EPI6 calculates and displays dates quite directly. (3) The package date does not seem to have a convenient way of extracting dates from POSIXct format.
