   /drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date.module
   ...

   /drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date_api/date_api.info
   /drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date_api/date_api.install
   /drupal/sites/all/modules/date/date_api/date_api.module
   ...

================================================================================

   module, the Date Timezone module, and the core Field module are also enabled.
