comp.sources.misc/8707/33:
	settime (change the access and modification dates of files)

com.sources.misc/8708/12:
	changed (output file names that are modified after mmddyy)

We use it here and find it very useful.  It works on date only, not time.

	usage: changed mmddyy dir...

alias	today	"changed `dnt --1 -f=mmddyy`"

$ today /usr/spool/news

where dnt is my version of date and time, the --1 option give me yesterday's
date so changed will work properly.  One bug: you can not do: "today ." if
you have >1 level of subdirectories.
