In article <JGD.92Apr9191219@kodiak.acl.lanl.gov> jgd@acl.lanl.gov (Jerry G. DeLapp) writes: "Could the final release of vm-5.32 (or at least the next release) sorting by date sent please handle both RFC832 and RFC1123 style dates and not trigger reordering when the dates are equivalent." For example, 1992 and 92 are equivalent years and comparing them should not trigger reordering if the month and year are equivalent... This is easy. Convert the strings to numbers and then apply `mod' with 1900 as second argument. This will work for at least the next 1807 years. -- Enjoy, Joe Wells <jbw@cs.bu.edu> Member of the League for Programming Freedom --- send e-mail for details
