The person that is integrating this into OpenBSD/NetBSD would have to edit it so that the $Date:$ stuff is preexpanded. That may be an acceptible restriction, I know that it is for me and I'm listed as the OpenBSD coordinator. I'd have to change $$Date : 1997/07/18$$ to be Date: 1997/07/18 and then let the other things take it from there. Yes. OK. I understand, this will work. Warner
