Compare two dates

[Mark Schonewille]

Hi Bill,

For me, using Dutch date notation, "10/12/2008"<"10/4/2008" = true is  
correct. That says something about the ambiguity of this equation. I'd  
convert both values to seconds before doing any comparisons and  
calculations, to take the ambiguity out of the equation.
