Just curious... but why must the program be in DOS?
Delphi is a windows-based programming language, if u want to make it in DOS, you should use TurboPascal 7.0

btw: am i correct this is 4 school??.. why not ask ur teacher? (cause u used the word "exersiece") E-mail: Rob@matas.nl (till Jan 10, from then on it's Deathwish@winning.com)

I would use a TCalendar and Tdate to subtract.

About the DOS function in Delphi :
Go to "Project" and then click "View Source".
Now you have the Source of your program. Delete all the lines between
"Begin" and "End." and type "{$APPTYPE CONSOLE}" above begin (without the
&quot. This will generate a DOS-box and it will close it when the program ends.
That's it..

About the Date Calculation : Try and ask that at the Pascal section of
Tek-Tips, i can't think of it right now. sorry.
