DESCRIPTION

20       The  datefield  package  provides  the datefield widget which is an en‐
21       hanced text entry widget for the purpose  of  date  entry.  Only  valid
22       dates of the form MM/DD/YYYY can be entered.

24       The datefield widget is, in fact, just an entry widget with specialized
