    ## A function implemented by Diethelm Wuertz
    ##   GNB : Modified to return a summary object and added a print method
    ##         for that.
    
    # Description:
    #   Summarizes details of a 'timeDate' object

    # Arguments:
    #   x - a 'timeDate' object to be summarized.

    # Effect:
    #   Produce a summary report of the details of a 'timeDate'
    #   object.

    # Print:
    ## x = object
    ## cat(  "Object:       ", as.character(match.call())[2])
    ## cat("\nStart Record: ", as.character(start(x)))

    ## cat("\nFormat:       ", x@format)
    ## cat("\nFinCenter:    ", x@FinCenter)
    ## cat("\n")

    ## # Return Value:
    ## invisible(object)
