1970-01-01 is time zero for *nixen. You're asking about what happened before the big bang! Guess "date" is not as generally useful for reformatting dates as it could be. However, its primary function is to set/print the current date/time which is always more recent than 1970. -- echo ">gra.fcw@2ztr< eryyvZ .T pveR" | rot13 | reverse -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
