- README notes for udate.
-
-
- The udate program has evolved since I first wrote the original version
- back in July of this year. If you have an old version of udate or dst,
- I suggest that you read the documentation carefully, since there are
- some differences in the way the daylight savings time adjustment and
- the TIMEZONE variable are set. This new version of udate actually
- combines the old udate and dst program into one program.
-
- The old dst command would set the TIMEZONE variable for you with the
- current timezone name and then the udate command would read it. The
- new version of udate requires that the TIMEZONE variable be set by the
- user, see the documentation. The new way seems much better and more UNIX
- like.

-
- A jokes file has been included to show the versatility of 'fortune' in
- reading multiple text files. Some of the jokes in this file are somewhat
- crude and poke fun at many ethnic and minority groups. I belong to one
- of these groups and do not feel insulted by any of the jokes. Others may
- not feel the same. Sorry, I suggest that you simply delete the entire
- file or the jokes you find offensive.
