/*
 * this gdate routine reads a "search date" from the keyboard.  This date
 * must be of the form mm/dd or mm/dd/yy (number of digits in each is
 * irrelevant).  it sets the date parameter correctly to the input or
 * returns -1 to indicate failure to complete a date (i.e., a return alone
 * was entered on a line).  If the date is invalid, it must be retyped.
 * I know it is unfortunate that we can't have a plato arrow type judging
 * system here.  I just don't want to go to all the hassle of making one now.
 * perhaps this is an area of improvement for this program.  RK  11/10/80.
 *
 *	Rewritten to use the parsetime() routine which understands
 *	about converting ASCII time specifications into a UNIX
 *	Internal time.
