Sorry, no. Perhaps some day we can all come to a consensus on what that sort of string should mean, or better yet, come up with an easily-understood syntax that disambiguates the possibilities. In the mean time, the behavior is not documented for weird starings like that, and users shouldn't depend on the behavior. Personally, strings like '-4 days sat' make my head spin.... _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
