Thanks Kurc, Alvin, David and David
Kurc, tnx for the script. I had no idea I was so close. I will
bookmark your homework suggestion and get to it as soon as possible.
Alvin, warnings are appreciated and I will double check the filenames.
David, there is an elegance to your use of 'find' and I will RTFMan
find. See next comment.
David also, in this case, the controlling parm is the date. My home
directory is very small and familiar at this time, so no, I don't
expect 'c' files.
Thanks again, guys. This has been helpful well beyond my simple
question.
