I have an application where I am generating a report using awk and part of the report is figuring out the age of someone using their birth date in the form yymmdd. I would like a solution in awk but am welcome to other suggestions, too. Thanks! Alan -- Alan McCain Christian Medical & Dental Society UUCP: cms2!alan INTERNET: alan@cms2.lonestar.org
