Is there a simple way using JAL to remove directories older than today from a certain path?

Sure.

Assuming you are using version 3.4 here are the steps you can make to script such processing

1. Today - to get today's date
2. SubDir -- to get the list of directory names
3 LoopWhile -- to loop through found dir names
4. FileDate -- to get date of a file/directory
5. isLess [file date], [today] go delete step (7)
6. skip step 7 and go to step 8
7. DirDelete - delete dir and all contained files/directories
8. END of LoopWhile

How can I make this work under version 3.3.5?

Why not to upgrade to 3.4? The upgrade is free.

P.S. In 3.3 you can use FileFindFirst, FileFindNext and FileGetAttr to search for subdirectories.
