Under Debian I have found itools which contain /usr/bin/idate but not
"ical".  Is "itl" the same as "itools?"  If no, I am interested in
packing it for Debian.

... :-)

apt-get install itools

...bingo!

Ther is one thing I do not like:

'idate' output:

----8<--------------------------------------------------------------
Date Format (dd/mm/yyyy):
+ Input    : 22/ 9/2006      -     Friday(Fri) -    September(Sep)
-----------------------------
+ Output   : 28/ 8/1427 A.H  -      Jumaa(Jum) -      Shaaban(Sha)
----8<--------------------------------------------------------------

Is there an option to switch this off:

----8<--------------------------------------------------------------
Date Format (dd/mm/yyyy):
+ Input    : 22/ 9/2006      -     Friday(Fri) -    September(Sep)
-----------------------------
+ Output   : 
----8<--------------------------------------------------------------

I like to have only:

    28/8/1427 A.H  - Jumaa(Jum) - Shaaban(Sha)

All other is uninteresting.  I do not like to write all
the times wrapers for it using sed/tr/grep and sisters.


Note:   Currently I am working on "swhoisd" which is uploaded to
        <mentors.debian.net>.  Same for "tdbashlib" plus "tddebidate"
        and I am preparing 8 other tools/packages...
