(date->string date [time?]) PROCEDURE

seconds->date) to a string. The returned string contains
the time of day only if time? is a true value; the default is
#f. See also date-display-format.

Parameter that determines the date display format, one of
'american, 'chinese, 'german,
'indian, 'irish, 'iso-8601, or
'julian. The initial format is 'american.
(find-seconds second minute hour day month year) PROCEDURE
Finds the representation of a date in platform-specific seconds. The
arguments correspond to the fields of the date structure. If
the platform cannot represent the specified date, an error is
signaled, otherwise an integer is returned.
(date->julian/scalinger date) PROCEDURE
Converts a date structure (up to 2099 BCE Gregorian) into a Julian date number. The returned value is not a strict Julian number, but rather Scalinger's version, which is off by one for easier calculations.
