Hi Folks,

I want to modify the creation date of news items (as displayed in the
newsitem directory).
This is to merge items from an old bulletin board system we operated into
ANU-NEWS & still retain the original posting date.

Has anyone got a bit of code to do this?

Geoff ... is it worthy of adding this as another command to NEWS?

Thanks in advance.
Chris
