R help - Apr 2001 - Julian dates

I am using the "chron" package. Can anyone tell me if there is a
simple way
to convert a date object (obtained from the "dates" function) into a
julian
date (using the "julian" function)?

Thanks, Al.

julian() will give numbers of days since an origin, by default January
1, 1970.  Date objects are represented as numbers of days since January
1, 1960, hence are already ``julian'' dates ...
