# This shell script determines from date(1) what today's date is, then will
# output the date in the format yymmdd.  If an offset is specified using the 
# "-o" option, it will determine the date of the day corresponding to the 
# current date + or - the offset (using the sign supplied by the user).
# An example follows:
#
#	day -o 4
#
# will provide the date four days in the future.
#
# 	day -o -27
#
# will provide the date 27 days ago.
#
# The algorithm provided will work across months and years, and will determine
# leap years.
