Sorry for the late reply.  I am catching up on missed emails.
The date format is incorrect.  Asking for MM-dd-yy, it was sent yyyy-mm-dd.
I think you should just change the test:
fin.print "2002-01-01\n" to fin.print "01-01-02\n"

I prefer "01-13-02\n", since it avoids the mm/dd confusion.

Park,

Thanks a lot for this package.

Unfortunately, when I compile it on my Windows XP Pro using VC++ 6.0 and run
it with
ruby 1.7.3 (2002-11-17) [i386-mswin32] it hangs after doing this:
---------------------------------------------------
C:\test\>ruby test.rb

test1
The current date is: Tue 12/31/2002
Enter the new date: (mm-dd-yy) 2002-01-01
The system cannot accept the date entered.

---------------------------------------------------

Please help.
Thanks and have a Very Happy New Year !
