Thanks. I don't know what Dan did for hoard.it, but our original
script treated 'about' or 'circa' as the date plus/minus five years.
So 'circa 1800' would be returned as '1795/1805'. For 'before' or
'after', you could return a pair of dates with either the first or
second blank,
Sounds great! How does it deal with dates commonly found in
genealogy, such as ABT 7 July 1950 or AFT 25 Dec 2000 or BEF
Jan 1925? or even ABT 2000 ?
