I'm a newbie to UNIX scripting (actually, I just know the very basics) and I 
was wondering does anyone have a piece of code they'd be willing to share on 
how to find the first Friday of the month, or last Friday of the month or first 
Wednesday of the month or .... well you get the idea. I'm a SAS programmer, 
COBOL programmer and mainframe Assembler programmer by trade and education so I 
don't have a problem with the programming part. Any guidance from anyone would 
be greatly appreciated. I'll even settle for directions to a decent piece of 
documentation that describes how to use UNIX shell scripting to calculate dates 
and days and I'll do the coding my self.

Regards,
Dennis
