Nah.  It's only a 'function' stub.  You would need to wrap a main program
section around it, and call the function.

Have a look at a couple of other utils from Horst's archive.  There's one that
might simplify the job called "what.com".  Another one that might help is
"isdate.com".  I haven't played with either, so caveat emptor.  ;-)

Cheers,
Paul.
