Hi,

I actually mistook the mature of the files that you had, I am sorry to have that last reply of mine, actually , I guess as the time variables do not help you,

You might think of having an ascii file with list of file name and the datetime of the new files alone for a day and then parsing the file and the current directory which has all the files ,to see if the datetime is thirty days old, sounds like a conventional way to handle it, yet the time variables $atime,$mtime do not give you the answer,the logic would give you a solution .

in my first note I somehow thought it was the normal files like programs and thought that CVS would have the information of the earliest time the file was created and hence gave that answer , please ignore that
