I have been searching google for some info on how to manipulate dates in CL
but am coming up somewhat shorthanded.  Specifically, I am looking to
extract the current system date, subtract a number of days to get a new date
and then convert it to a string with the century..

Similar to the following:

Current system date: 10/26/2006

Subtract 14 days: 10/12/2006

Retrieve century: 06

Convert date: 20061012

I just have not been able to find much in the way of CL for this..any
helpful links?
