_A_r_g_u_m_e_n_t_s:

FinCenter: a character with the the location of the   financial center
          named as "continent/city".  

  method: a character string denoting the method how to determine the
          dates. 

      tz: inputs the time zone to POSIX objects, i.e. the time zone, 
          'zone', or financial center string, 'FinCenter',  as used by
          'timeDate' objects. 

   units: a character string denoting the date/time units in which the 
          results are desired. 

       x: an object of class 'timeDate'. 

    zone: the time zone or financial center where the data were
          recorded. 

     ...: arguments passed to other methods. 

_V_a_l_u_e:

     'as.timeDate.POSIXt' returns an object of class 'timeDate'.

     'as.timeDate.Date' returns an object of class 'timeDate'.

_E_x_a_m_p_l_e_s:

     ## timeDate - 
        tC = timeCalendar()

     ## Convert 'timeDate' to a character strings:
        as.character(tC)
        
     ## Coerce a 'Date' object into a 'timeDate' object:
        as.timeDate(Sys.Date())
