This program will calculate the absolute difference in days between today's date and a 2nd date - i.e. the # of days until Xmas, New years Eve, important birthdays etc. or perhaps your age in days (careful with this last one - it can be very depressing!). I've not implemented much in the way of error checking so take care with what you input. For instance, it will process Feb 31, 2000 as if it were March 2, 2000 - since Feb in 2000 had 29 days.
