http://ppt.perl.org/commands/find/find.snow.html PPT's find command is just a wrapper around find2perl, which apparently does not currently support units for the -time options. You could take the Perl code produced by find2perl and modify it to suit your needs, but that would be a pain if you just wanted to do lots of one-off finds. The best solution would be having an improved find2perl... Ronald
