That would be wonderful. I've always felt that the GNU utilities (such as "date" as well as other) were far superior to the IBM supplied versions. I would love to try to port some of them. I cannot do that at work due to: (1) lack of a C compiler and (2) lack of CPU resources (which means I'd get in trouble if I tried). -- John McKown Senior Systems Programmer UICI Insurance Center Information Technology This message (including any attachments) contains confidential information intended for a specific individual and purpose, and its content is protected by law.
