Hi all!
Yesterday, i wrote very small patch for date-program(date.c), i peronaly needed
feature to strip out newline-sign at end of output. I hope it is
useful for whole project too, so it is free to use in date.
In fact, this is my first patch,so i just diff my date.c and cvs's
date.c, and i hope i did it right;) It is at end of this message, i
hope it works(like i sad, i havent do patches before;) Remember backup
your original date.c in case that i've done something wrong!)
In bash, there is problems with editing commandline after printing,
but that was/is bash's problem because that is standard way to print,
i think it is fixed (maybe) in newest 3.1 version's patch 13 or
something like that, if i remember right;)
Comments please!

PS. I personally needed it because i needed time stamp to my bash shellprompt
