Search the list archives - it's been discussed before.

But if you need to know how, I'll give you a few tips. There's an oconv option 
which returns the "day of year" value, divide this by 7 to work out how many 
weeks have passed.

And the ISO standard says (a) the week is Monday to Sunday, and (b) a week 
belongs to whichever year its Thursday falls into.

So the algorithm is something like "what is the 'day of year' for this week's 
Thursday? Now divide that by 7". I've got a feeling this simple algorithm has 
got an "off by one" error in it, so you'll need to check for that, but that's 
about it.

Cheers,
Wol
