I would only know if somebody complains or files a bug. Never happened.

You use some of the functions however: they have all been implemented by Phil, and they are part of acre.

My part was converting them into a class, document them and write test cases.

Kai, is there a test suite for this library?

That crossed with previous post.

Where are the test cases, and how would one get a hold of them?

Kai, also, is there a reason they are delivered as a class?

It's a class because putting stuff together into a class with a public interface while hiding implementation details seems natural to do for something like Date and Time related functions.

Currently you download the zip, load the WS inside it and run

#._DateAndTime.TestCases.Run

for executing the test cases. Same holds true for all members of the APLTree library.

In fact nothing that is not well documented and has exhaustive test cases can become a member of the APLTree library by definition.

Thanks, Kai. I'll download and look at the tests.

One more thing. I know that you don't know if anyone else is using the date library. Do any of your other APLTree projects use the date and time library?
