DESCRIPTION
       The datefield package provides the datefield widget which is an
       enhanced text entry widget for the purpose of date entry. Only valid
       dates of the form MM/DD/YYYY can be entered.

       The datefield widget is, in fact, just an entry widget with specialized
       bindings. This means all the command and options for an entry widget
       apply equally here.

COMMANDS
       ::datefield::datefield widgetpath ?options?
              Creates and configures a date field widget.

OPTIONS
       See the entry manual entry for details on all available options.

EXAMPLE
               package require datefield

               wm title . "Datefield example"
               proc DayOfWeek {args} {
                   set now [clock scan $::myDate]
                   set ::myDate2 [clock format $now -format %A]
               }
               trace variable myDate w DayOfWeek

               ::datefield::datefield .df -textvariable myDate
               label .l1 -text "Enter a date:"   -anchor e
               label .l2 -text "That date is a:" -anchor e
               label .l3 -textvariable myDate2 -relief sunken -width 12

               grid .l2 .l3 -sticky ew
               focus .df
