That is neat.  The "%H:%M:%S" can be shortened to "%X" which produces the exact 
same thing.  The list can be gotten from "date --help" or "man date".  Up to 
now I have been using "date" in bash scripts to extract the same information so 
I was happy when I encountered strftime in the POSIX module.  Like I said, it's 
a keeper.

Life is good,
Maurice
