Re: Re: PEAR:Date

Darren, that's one of the things im dealing with. im actually thinking of merging the Calendar and Date classes, and substituting the Calendar.set(FIELD, value) idiom for properties (cal.set(Month, JANUARY) becomes cal->month = JANUARY) in addition, ZE2 will allow me to properly handle such syntactical sugar as cal->week_of_year++ (map to internal roll or add) the TimeZone class will probably be finished in a week. bets are off on the Calendar related stuff - im very busy otherwise.
