I was just trying to get you to closer to the syntax of your gnu date
program. As I mentioned Date has it's own leap year boolean object. Of
course you can always program your own leap year algorithm with a
couple modulo operations. This way year can return the extra day you
get every four years.

Good luck and happy hacking =)
