I am using troff with the ms macros to produce hardcopy of a file
which is getting many updates.  When I print it I am using the DA
directive to get the date printed on the hardcopy.  But this is the
date printed.  I would much rather have the date that the file
was last revised.  Any suggestion on how to do this would be
appreciated.

Please respond directly, as I am not on the list.

Thank you.

Sincerely,
