<guess> ls assumes that once a file is more than an year old, you probably won't be interested too much in the actual time. Since the area within which it has to display information is limited, it tries to give the best possible information (only time => within this 'year', within -12 months from now). </guess> -- jaju ------------------------------------------------------- The SF.Net email is sponsored by EclipseCon 2004 Premiere Conference on Open Tools Development and Integration See the breadth of Eclipse activity.
