It's because you can put a correctly formatted date string in the -expires option, AFAIK. So if using your idea, the "literal" string might be misinterpreted. Also, don't forget that you have +1d and -1d as another possibility. I think the +/- makes sense. It's just one character :) -- Per Einar Ellefsen [EMAIL PROTECTED]
