I put a list of date/time classes and pointers to documents describing
them on the R-wiki at
http://wiki.r-project.org/rwiki/doku.php?id=guides:times-dates

The various reasons one might use each of them are described in the
documents. (If anyone feels like adding summaries to the "tips"
section
on the Wiki, please go ahead!)
