Ada calendar package

Ada calendar package

[Corey Minyard]

I was wondering if anyone had an Ada package for doing calendar type 
manipulations.  Yes, I know about Ada.Calendar, but I'm looking for 
something more complete, something like java.util.Calendar.

I found one old package on AdaPower that didn't seem very complete.  The 
Gnat.Calendar stuff looks like a very good start, but I don't want to be 
compiler-specific, so I would have to take that from GNAT, remove the 
GNAT specific stuff, and put it into my package.  It would be really 
nice to be able to parse and manipulate dates, do locales, etc.

Anything available?

There is a package in the Original Booch Components
(available on AdaPower.com) Calendar_Utilities -- but it
doesn't do locales.

  The problem is that the answer is a plethora of "Yes"s.  There was
a thread here some time ago and many people offered packages, all
slightly different.

  Claw.Time is not compiler specific, does (Windows) locales, etc.
I think the source is included in the downloadable intro version
located at www.adapower.com  As one of its authors, I think highly of
it. :)
