I made this available once before, but we may have many new list members.

I have a small comand-line utility which, when given a date, returns info on
the rollover date for the S&P front contract.  Following entry of the
command (date2jd), it responds as follows:

Enter date, ddMmmyyyy:      10mar2003

Monday, 10 Mar 2003 is JD 37689, 11 days to expiration, 3 days to rollover
Week number is 5384.0
Enter next date:

Anyone interested in a copy of this can e-mail me directly and I'll send it.
