No, the function is necessary -- it does all the work.

The getdate library function is part of the C News library; if your
compiler is complaining that it can't find it, something is wrong.

  The current cnews.Z can currently always be retrieved by anonymous ftp from
  neat.cs.toronto.edu in file pub/cnews.Z and the complete set of patches can
  also be found on neat.cs.toronto.edu in the directory pub/cnews.patches.
  For people with broken name servers: neat.cs.toronto.edu is 128.100.1.65
  FTP during our peak hours (13h00-17h00 Eastern) is not encouraged.
