[EMAIL PROTECTED] is on permanent record as saying: :> Don't assume everybody uses GNU date. ;-) : :This happens to be a Linux mailing list... not a soloris list.
Gnu != Linux. In fact, not all distributions favour the gnu implementation of software. For instance, debian uses mawk rather than gawk for the default install. In this case, gawk is slower but more feature-full. However, very few packages depend on gawk features, so the choice is for speed and size. Greg --- -
