R help - Sep 2008 - howto convert matrix of numeric values to Date class?

Hi:

I have a matrix, named "mat," of numeric values that are in days since
Jan 1, 1960.

I want to convert them Date class values so that I can do things like

seq( value , len=10, by="1 week")

where "value" is any of the matrix elements.

How do I do this?

Please reply to: philipsmith at alumni.albany.edu

Thanks!

You should be able to convert with:

myDate <- as.Date(dates, origin='1960-1-1')
