Aloha,

Yes, thanks, so the code below is a fix; but, an annoying one as it means
that I have to change the date in the preamble before loading eukdate (with
the old dates.sty that was not necessary).
\documentclass{article}
% \changedate{month}{day}{year} changes the LaTeX date
\newcommand{\changedate}[3]{
\renewcommand{\month}{#1}
\renewcommand{\day}{#2}
\renewcommand{\year}{#3}
}
% \changedate{month}{day}{year}
\changedate{5}{1}{2009}
% Package to get weekday and month name.
\usepackage{eukdate}
% Change the \today command to show the day of the week
\renewcommand{\today}{\weekday, \monthname\ \day, \year}
\begin{document}
\today
\end{document}
Thanks,
Ramón
