CHKDATE.CPP ----------- This is a simple function to validate a UnFormatted date string. It does reconize Leap year. On Feburary 29, 1988 it would of returned a TRUE. For this date is Valid. But on Feburary 29, 1992 it would of returned a FALSE for this date is NOT valid. The demonstration program does nothing to take out the '/'. The function will not work properly if the date string contains the '/' character. You must find a way to do this in your programs. I hope that this function will help you out. It proved to be very valuable in our programming experince. Program One, Inc. Compuserve 75570,1116
