I generally go into the directory I want to clean up and do an ls -l to determine the date which I did the last update, then do 'ls -l | grep -v 'date'' and move anything that isn't the right date to an Old/ directory. Periodically I rm -r the Old directory after I'm sure everything is still working. > Functionality to remove old files might be useful to add to > mergemaster. Under no circumstances will anything like this be added to mergemaster. This would be its own tool, if anything. Doug -- "We will not tire, we will not falter, and we will not fail." - George W.
