Could you elaborate, time permitting? No rush, especially since your blanket message suggests there's a lot going on elsewhere. Note: users would be more interested in the result than the method. Namely that the files in '/usr/share/doc/freeguide', (and some other dirs, no doubt), all have the same undistinctive date, which is akin to having no dates. Therefore if your (pending?) method-based critique is accurate that the patch/timestamp method above was unfeasible, I'd say "let's think of a better method". -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
