Will do. I thought there might be an issue with that, but I couldn't remember what the better address was, or how to get it quickly (I browsed through a couple of places I thought would have it, before I sent the note). The output you get from "date" makes me think you're not executing the cygwin "date", which may be a factor. Another poster asked me what version of Cygwin I have. I updated "recently", probably several weeks ago. The DLL version is 1.3.2. -- =================================================================== David M.
