Similar to the Unix "date" command, fdate can display the current date in
any format.

Unlike the Unix "date" can display a date other than the current date.
You may also have it display the date of a file.

	 -d n Day

	 -M n Minute
	 -y n Year (0-199 - relative to 1900)
	 -Y n Year (19nn)

	 -E   Easter
	 -j n Julian_Date

    Wednesday 25 December 1996	12:33:00 pm
