Chuck,

There is a one-liner that I have seen you use to make a copy of a file
you are modifying with a datestamp appended to the filename, and I have
been trying to rack my brain for that one-liner.

If I recall, it used 'cp' with a single argument?

Thanks,
Rob

Not Chuck, but this should work...

cp devmem2.c devmem2.c-$(date +'%Y-%m-%d')
