       Morning/afternoon times
	   This is a list of expressions use to designate morning or afternoon
	   time when a time is entered as a 12-hour time rather than a 24-hour
	   time.  For example, in English, the time "17:00" could be specified
	   as "5:00 PM".

	   Morning and afternoon time may be designated by the following sets
	   of words:

	      AM
	      A.M.

	      PM
	      P.M.

       Each or every
	   There are a list of words that specify every occurence of
	   something.  These are used in the following phrases:

	      EACH Monday
	      EVERY Monday
	      EVERY month

	   The following words may be used:

	      each
	      every

       Next/Previous/Last occurence
	   There are a list of words that may be used to specify the next,
	   previous, or last occurence of something.  These words could be
	   used in the following phrases:

	      NEXT week

	      LAST tuesday
	      PREVIOUS tuesday

	      LAST day of the month

	   The following words may be used:

	   Next occurence:

	      next
	      following

	   Previous occurence:

	      previous
	      last

	   Last occurence:

	      last
	      final

       Delta words for going forward/backward in time
	   When parsing deltas, there are words that may be used to specify
	   the the delta will refer to a time in the future or to a time in
	   the past (relative to some date).  In English, for example, you
	   might say:

	      IN 5 days
	      5 days AGO

	   The following words may be used to specify deltas that refer to
	   dates in the past or future respectively:

	      ago
	      past
	      in the past
	      earlier
	      before now

	      in
	      later
	      future
	      in the future
	      from now

       Business mode
	   This contains two lists of words which can be used to specify a
	   standard (i.e. non-business) delta or a business delta.

	   Previously, it was used to tell whether the delta was approximate
	   or exact, but now this list is not used except to force the delta
	   to be standard.

	   The following words may be used:

	      exactly
	      approximately

	   The following words may be used to specify a business delta:

	      business

       Ignored words
	   In writing out dates in common forms, there are a number of words
	   that are typically not important.

	   There is frequently a word that appears in a phrase to designate
	   that a time is going to be specified next.  In English, you would
	   use the word AT in the example:

	      December 3 at 12:00

	   The following words may be used:

	      at

	   Another word is used to designate one member of a set.  In English,
	   you would use the words IN or OF:

	      1st day OF December
	      1st day IN December

	   The following words may be used:

	      of
	      in

	   Another word is use to specify that something is on a certain date.
	   In English, you would use ON:

	      ON July 5th

	   The following words may be used:

	      on

       Words that set the date, time, or both
	   There are some words that can be used to specify a date, a time, or
	   both relative to now.

	   Words that set the date are similar to the English words
	   'yesterday' or 'tomorrow'.  These are specified as a delta which is
	   added to the current time to get a date.  The time is NOT set
	   however, so the delta is only partially used (it should only
	   include year, month, week, and day fields).

	   The following words may be used:

	      ereyesterday	   -0:0:0:2:0:0:0
	      overmorrow	   +0:0:0:2:0:0:0
	      today		   0:0:0:0:0:0:0
	      tomorrow		   +0:0:0:1:0:0:0
	      yesterday		   -0:0:0:1:0:0:0

	   Words that set only the time of day are similar to the English
	   words 'noon' or 'midnight'.

	   The following words may be used:

	      midnight		   00:00:00
	      noon		   12:00:00

	   Words that set the entire time and date (relative to the current
	   time and date) are also available.

	   In English, the word 'now' is one of these.

	   The following words may be used:

	      now		   0:0:0:0:0:0:0

       Hour/Minute/Second separators
	   When specifying the time of day, the most common separator is a
	   colon (:) which can be used for both separators.

	   Some languages use different pairs.	For example, French allows you
	   to specify the time as 13h30:20, so it would use the following
	   pairs:

	      : :
	      [h] [:]

	   The first column is the hour-minute separator and the second column
	   is the minute-second separator.  Both are perl regular expressions.

	   A pair of colons is ALWAY allowed for all languages.	 If a language
	   allows additional pairs, they are listed here:

	      Not defined in this language
