  Description     : Additional date manipulation tools

This is one of the packages distributed by the octave-forge project
using the pkg.m system introduced in version 3 of Octave [1], a
numerical computation software.

Although users can use directly the pkg() command for installing the
octave-forge pkgs, the Debian Octave Group (DOG) [2] will provide them
as Debian packages. Preliminary versions of the packages can be found
in the DOG SVN repository [3].  The final versions of the packages
will be built using the octave-pkg-dev insfrastructure [4] [5].

The full list of octave-forge pkgs can be found at the SF project website [6].
