     C                   Eval      Days = DaysDur(Cdate1: Cdate2)
     C                   Eval      Days = DaysDur(Ndate1: Ndate2)
     C                   Eval      Days = DaysDur(Cdate: Ndate)
     C                   Eval      Days = DaysDur(Ndate: Cdate)


One function name to remember instead of 4, simpler code in the calling
procedure, and potentially fewer maintenance issues.
