My patch adds the 4-digit year variants and makes them preferred (by listing them before the 2-digit variants); it also slightly rearranges the order of possible date specifications by putting those understood world-wide before the US ones. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: Install my patch below: Index: at.man =================================================================== RCS file: /sw/FreeBSD/CVSUP/src/usr.bin/at/at.man,v retrieving revision 1.22 diff -u -3 -p -r1.22 at.man --- at.man 2001/11/20 15:43:25 1.22 +++ at.man 2001/12/04 17:30:23 @@ -82,12 +82,13 @@ by giving a date in the form .Ar \%month-name day with an optional .Ar year , -or giving a date of the form -.Ar MMDDYY -or -.Ar MM/DD/YY -or -.Ar DD.MM.YY . +or giving a date of the forms +.Ar DD.MM.YYYY , +.Ar DD.MM.YY , +.Ar MM/DD/YYYY , +.Ar MM/DD/YY , +.Ar MMDDYYYY , or +.Ar MMDDYY .
