I downloaded all the files from http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/bin/date/ and tried to compile it but I get an error from the Makefile: Makefile:9: *** missing separator. Stop. I suspect this is the first of many errors I will run into during this process. Can anyone help me out with this or tell me if there is an easier way to get this version of the date command running in Linux? Thanks a lot, Francis
