I think James was talking about `tarsnap -t`, not --list-archives. In which case the answer is no; tarsnap reproduces the traditional behaviour of tar, which sadly dates back to a time before people paid attention to such things as readily parsable date/time strings. But it should be easy to add an option for this... anyone want to suggest a name? Maybe --iso-dates? -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid
