Can anyone give me some ideas of calculating the ages of people?  I have an
application where I am generating a report using awk and part of the report
is figuring out the age of someone using their birth date in the form
yymmdd.  I would like a solution in awk but am welcome to other suggestions,
too.

Thanks!

Alan
