Here's an old one I used to get the day of the week as an integer.. should
be easy enough to get from that.

1. Get the day of the week.
2. If it's Friday, the date you passed in is good.
3. If not, subject x days from the date to get friday.

*//////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////*
* #DayOfWeek - Return the Day of the Week *

I need to retrieve the date from last Friday. If it is Friday, I want the
current date. Anyone have a routine that does that before I start
developing one? Seem like a good SQL problem but the program using it
would be in CLLE.

Thoughts?
