I wrote a moronically simple program that looked up what "workday" of the
month a given date was. (I cheated though and just built a table with all
dates and values until the end of 1999, and chained out to it. Dates without
values aren't workdays. (at least for the non IT people....))

I am curious if anyone else ever needs to know the "next Friday (or
_any_day )" is for defaults on screens, etc?   I needed to know and wrote
a little program to do it, but wondered afterwards if there is some simple
command, or if no one else ever cares.
