OK. My current version is based upon the 5.2.1 release code. I will try and port it over to the CVS code. > Doesn't the standard ISO-8601 date format accomplish that, too? Quite likely.

Would you suggest a "--last-accessed" switch as well as "--last-modified", or would it be better to have a modifier "--use-time=atime|ctime|mtime"? > It's good to update the --help output and even better to update > the primary documentation in the file doc/coreutils.texi. I have made an addition to the "--help" output to describe the "--last-modified" switch, but not the details of the date formats. I have not yet looked at trying to update the other documentation. > Writing ChangeLog entries describing your changes is helpful. OK.

Yes, please send me the forms. No promises. _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
