Calculate the date after subtracting nmbr of days form a date

Hi,

I'm currently adding a new module to an old borland C3.1 application
(dos).
And I need to calculate a date by subtracting the number of days from
a given date.

I know I could use an array of days in the months and go back by
leaping when 1 is reached. (keeping the 29the of feb and january/year
in mind).
But is there no function in Borland C3.1 which will do this for me?

I couldn't find one in the help?

Regards
Laery

Can someone pls point me to or recommend the easiest way to calculate someone´s age using the TimeSpan object, in .NET CF? Isn´t there a simple way to use the TimeSpan object to calculate the elapsed time and somehow convert the days to years w/out using the VB DLL? Thanks.

IMHO, the following is not a how-to-do instruction to solve a particular problem but more a concept-proof stuff demonstrating possibilities of SQL. So, let us say the problem is to calculate business days count which is defined as count of days (optionally inclusive in the current implementation) excluding weekend days and holidays. Let us say periods to calculate are stored in table associated with contacts. keyPeriodID -...
