Cvs uses getdate, public domain code that parses dates in pretty much any format you would want (like "August 12" or "5 weeks ago" or "yesterday"...) into a time number, we could use that to make it extremely easy to specify which DBR you want. I'll volunteer to port that to java if it hasn't been done already. (I can't find one) Sound good? -- Benjamin Coates _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
