The help file of gdate listed your e-mail to report bugs. This is not a
bug, but I wasn't sure who to contact.
I took over administration of a server and one of the users on that system
use gdate in his scripts. I am settinng up a new server and I will have to
migrate everything to this new server. The previous administrator did not
leave any src files for me to recompile gdate on my new server, so I am out
searching for this package.
I have looked through the GNU software at your site, but so far I have not
found this program. Is it a seperate package or is it part of another
package? The output of --help is listed below just in case you need that
to identify what program I am talking about.
Thaks for your help,
--Mike

the following modifiers between `%' and a numeric directive.
