 # pear-Date
 
+Generic classes for representation and manipulation of dates, times and time
+zones without the need of timestamps, which is a huge limitation for php
+programs.
+Includes time zone data, time zone conversions and many date/time conversions.
+It does not rely on 32-bit system date stamps, so you can display calendars and
+compare dates that date pre 1970 and post 2038.
+This package also provides a class to convert date strings between Gregorian
+and Human calendar formats.
