Re: script to copy file from several directories

> Right:

"-newer" is another of those things where VMS
appears to have been thoughtfully designed,
while UNIX appears to have been thrown
together by someone in his spare time.
Having to figure out the last valid time
value before the time you really care about
would be even more annoying on VMS, where
file date-time values are maintained to
0.01s. For example:

Created: 17-FEB-2011 06:15:21.58
Revised: 17-FEB-2011 06:15:21.65 (1)
Expires:
Backup: 2-APR-2011 00:58:15.36

All those ".99" things would certainly annoy
me, if I had to use them. (But I don't.)
