 .SH DESCRIPTION
-\fIDp\fR is a program that parses dates according to the ARPA Internet
-standard.
-It also understands many non\-standard formats,
-such as those produced by TOPS\-20 sites and some UNIX sites using
-\fIctime\fR(3).
-It is useful for seeing how \fInmh\fR will interpret a date.
-
-The \fIdp\fR program treats each argument as a single date,
-and prints the date out in the official 822\-format.
-Hence, it is usually best to enclose each argument in double\-quotes for the

-.Bu
-The argument to the `\-format' switch must be interpreted as a single token
-by the shell that invokes \fIdp\fR.
-Therefore,
-one must usually place the argument to this switch inside double\-quotes.
