Piece of cake - this is _standard_ in Ada. Everything you need is in
package Calendar. Check an LRM or your textbook. It does not matter
what sort of Unix you are on, or what sort of computer for that
matter. Every Ada compiler gives standard date/time operations.

Send me e-mail if you need details.
