The Rmetrics package  'fCalendar' has a "timeDate" class that
tries to be more or less S+ compatible.
It is on CRAN and hence just an

   install.packages("fCalendar", .....<maybe specify your CRAN mirror....)  
   library(fCalendar)

away.

unpaste() can be replaced by  strsplit() and similar, but I
don't know the details.
