% function [day,month,year,thedate]=getdate(fname,tindex);
%
% get the date from the time index of a CROCO oct_netcdf file
%   (for a 360 days year)
%
% if Yorig (year origin) is provided, the date is computed
% as a "real time" date.
%
% input:
%
%  fname    CROCO oct_netcdf file name (average or history) (string)
%  tindex   time index (integer)
%
% output:
%
%  day      day (scalar)
%  month    month (string)
%  year     year (scalar)
%  thedate  date (string)
