Sorry, couldn't help with the rest of your problem, but I think it is assumed that ls will display the year only for files older than a year old. Quite clever, in my opinion. Of course, you can also pass it the --full-time option, but the result gets rather ugly: [01:09 PM]wwong lunar-2.1 $ ls -l total 96 -rw-r--r-- 1 wwong root 91 Aug 11 1992 Makefile -rwxr-xr-x 1 wwong root 27121 Jul 14 21:53 lunar -rw-r--r-- 1 wwong root 2938 Aug 11 1992 lunar.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 wwong root 1731 Jun 21 1991 lunar.bitmap -rw-r--r-- 1 wwong root 18447 Aug 11 1992 lunar.c -rw-r--r-- 1 wwong root 22096 Jul 14 21:53 lunar.o -rw-r--r-- 1 wwong root 11140 Aug 11 1992 tables.h [01:09 PM]wwong lunar-2.1 $ ls --full-time total 96 -rw-r--r-- 1 wwong root 91 1992-08-11 00:14:48.000000000 -0400 Makefile -rwxr-xr-x 1 wwong root 27121 2005-07-14 21:53:10.000000000 -0400 lunar -rw-r--r-- 1 wwong root 2938 1992-08-11 00:14:48.000000000 -0400 lunar.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 wwong root 1731 1991-06-21 02:35:16.000000000 -0400 lunar.bitmap -rw-r--r-- 1 wwong root 18447 1992-08-11 00:14:48.000000000 -0400 lunar.c -rw-r--r-- 1 wwong root 22096 2005-07-14 21:53:09.000000000 -0400 lunar.o -rw-r--r-- 1 wwong root 11140 1992-08-11 00:14:48.000000000 -0400 tables.h HTH, W -- One man's vacuum is another man's sewer. ~N.
