problem in as.date
...956.
Usage:
as.date(x, order = "mdy", ...)
Value:
For each date, the number of days between it and January 1, 1960.
The date will be missing if the string is not interpretable.
But here is what happens when you actually use it:
> as.date(c("1jan1960"))
[1] 1Jan60
Can somebody explain this?
Also please suggest me the best function in R to convert from
as.Date("2009-08-13") to Julian and vice versa.

Rounding in date.mdy from library(date)
The date library contains a function date.mdy that converts a number
D to the date (month,date,year as a list) at D days after 1 Jan 1960.
This a convention that fits in with SASs.
The logic would be that the result was the date at D days after
1 Jan 1960 00:00:00 (which is a POINT in time as opposed to a date which
is an interval), so that any D with 2<=D<3 was rounded to 3 Jan 1960
and
