It's still there; it's just been deprecated because Apple wants to push the
NSCalendar and NSDateComponents classes due to their superior loca

looks like this:
*//'pointer' increments in a loop - so create a date for each month of the
year, c defined outside the loop*
int currentYear = [comp year];
NSDateComponents *components = [[[NSDateComponents alloc]init] aut

course it was mostly noticeable only in loops where we were doin
