Tell me the format that you want and I'll send you a source file and executable for Solaris. On the other hand, depending on what you want to do, you may find 'make' to be useful. Long ago, I wrote a set of makefiles and scripts to copy displays to machines if the dates had changed on them.

The "ls -l" command provides that kind of information in different ways but never complete. Instead of getting the english title for the month do I need the 2 digits. # ls -l -rw-r--r-- 1 root other 633 Mar 12 2006 a_file_with_date_only -r--r--r-- 1 root sys 7728 Dec 11 09:06 a_file_without_the_year # Regards, Andreas =3D20 =3D20 _______________________________________________________________________ This mailing list is neither sponsored nor endorsed by Invensys Process Systems (formerly The Foxboro Company).
