What happens wrt the code in the freebsd repository depends on the combined opinion of members, aka "voting". This is my vote. It is a perfectly good option to have in 'cat', but it seems out-of-place to turn the 'date' command into a filter. Others in the project can express their own votes, whatever those votes may be. If there are a fair number of votes for adding this option to the 'date' command, then certainly I will be happy with that result. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosehn_at_rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad_at_FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USAReceived on Fri Sep 01 2006 - 19:04:58 UTC
