Well, actually, that depends on the package being used to prepare the
documentation.
I haven't had to deal with the problem in about three years, but I
know I was able to have different dates on different pages when using
Xyvision. And if it can be done in Xyvision, it -must- be possible in
other packages. I don't know what the answer is in I'leaf, simply
because I've never had to deal with the problem.
Although I'll probably be curious enough to give it a try, today....
