Program: isBetween

The function \"isBetween\" will determine if the modification date/time
of a file is between two specified dates.

Usage: ${1##*/} [-?vVq] [-b 'BeginDate'] [-e 'EndDate'] FileName

  Where:
    -b 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' = Beginning Date/Time (Default:Current)
    -e 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS' = Ending Date/Time (Default:Current)
    FileName = File to examine to determine if the modification date/time
               is between the specified beginning and ending date/time's.
    -v = Verbose mode
    -V = Very Verbose Mode
    -q = Quiet mode

#### 
#### Description:
#### 
#### This function will determine if the last modification
#### date/time on a file is between two specified date/time
#### values.  The date/time values required consist of a
#### beginning and an ending date/time, and are expected to
#### be in the following format: YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS
#### 
#### Where YYYY represents the four digit year, MM is the 2
#### digit month number (1-12), DD is the 2 digit day of the
#### month (1-31), HH is the 2 digit hour of the day on a 24
#### hour clock (0-23), MM is the 2 digit minute value
#### (0-59), and SS is the 2 digit seconds value (0-59). 
#### 
#### Assumptions:
#### 
#### If the beginning date/time or ending date/time is not
#### specified, the current date/time is used as the default
#### value. 
#### 
#### Dependencies:
#### 
#### This function requires execute permission for the "ls"
#### and "date" commands.
#### 
#### Products:
#### 
#### This function examines one file at a time and produces a
#### return code of zero (0) if the last modification time of
#### the file is between or equal to the specified date/time
#### values.  A return code of one (1) is produced if the
#### last modification time of the file is not between the
#### specified date/time values.  A return code of two (2) is
#### produced if the file to examine is not found.  And a
#### return code of three (3) is produced if the date
#### information obtained from the "ls -l" output is invalid. 
#### 
#### The VERBOSE option causes this function to output the
#### beginning time, ending time, file datestamp, and file
#### name.  The QUIET option causes this function to perform
#### it's work quietly and not produce any output.  If both
#### the VERBOSE and QUIET flags are specified at run time,
#### the VERBOSE flag has precedence.
#### 
#### Configured Usage:
#### 
#### This command is a shell function that can be
#### incorporated into other shell scripts, used as part of a
#### function library, or as a stand-alone command.
#### 
#### Details:
