If you are just concerned with the touch utility, this can be done in software. First copy touch to touch.real. Then replace touch with the following shell script: for i in $* do touch.real `echo $i | cut -c1-14` done

Patrick Guelat just posted a "hack" (or patch) for SCO UNIX to implement this in comp.unix.i386 (message id <2160@impch.imp.com>, 9 Jun 90). If you can't find it, let me know & I will email it to you. -- Conor P. Cahill (703)430-9247 Virtual Technologies, Inc., uunet!virtech!cpcahil 46030 Manekin Plaza, Suite 160 Sterling, VA 22170
