- Date Arithmetic, Part 1 - Addresses the problem of how to calculate a date one day earlier than the present day's date. The problem is that if today is the first day of the month,finding the date one day earlier is no easy task, and date arithmetic is sadly neglected in most Unix utilities.
This article seeks to address this problem.
