I hacked together a small AWK script to list out any new entries from the Cica
list. I did this without noticing Otto's post, but I post this one since it 
takes a slightly different aproach and doesen't require a Unix csh. The output
isn't to well formattet, but take this as a 15 min hack to be worked on if you
have the time :-)

You use it in this way:
    AWK -f newcica.awk date=910501 cica.lst
This will read the script (assumed to be stored as newcica.awk) and output
all programs with dates on or later than 1st of May. The list is assumed to
be in the file cica.lst.

This is the script:

# AWK script to display recent changes in the cica index file
# Usage: awk -f newcica.awk date=yymmdd index

{
    if ($0 ~ /^\*\*/)
        print $0
    else if ($2 >= date)
        print $0
}

Short enough???
