The simple format yyyy-mm-dd is a lot more easy to read though. 

The TW-based macros I wrote after some suggestions from Mat* seem to be 
date agnostic. I can run this:

40 days from 1860-12-1 : <<daysfrom 1860 12 1 40>>
>

and get this:

40 days from 1860-12-1 : 1861-1-10 **

Since I don't have my calendar from 1860/61 hanging around any more (the 
cat ate it),
someone else will have to verify that it's correct.


* Or someone
** Wikipedia tells me GE was written first 1860, but I suppose it was 
brushed up later?
