Quick question, been thinking about this all day today. Whats a nice quick way to find out what the date was 7 days ago? (one that takes into account that today could be the 3rd of January, or April 2nd, or...) I'm looking for a way to find the date 7 days ago so I can create a hard-link to a directory to enable our backup software to backup my sunday backups to tape by looking at a static link that changes every sunday by the OS. It's brain dead and doesn't want to do anything more than archive-bit style backups.... --Dan -- To exercise power costs effort and demands courage. That is why so many fail to assert rights to which they are perfectly entitled - because a right is a kind of power but they are too lazy or too cowardly to exercise it. The virtues which cloak these faults are called patience and forbearance.
