Number of months between 2 dates

[Edis, Robert]

What type of months?  I.e. what calendar, Gregorian (12 months of varying length), lunar (12 months of 30 days each, Baha'i (19 months of 19 days each plus 4 or 5 top-up days), other?

The former type would be VERY difficult to do in an algorithm and you probably need to create one or more lookup tables.  Calendars where the months have consistent lengths are easy.

Does anyone have an algorithm around that would compute the number of full 
MONTHS between two dates? Example is the number of months between 7/12/1968 
and 10/8/2002.

Thanks!
