RE: format of *DATE (was Source code retrieval from opbject of di splay file)

Joe,

I think Scott is right... you might check out the archives, I think last
fall we had a big to-do on the list about which method is best for
maintaining H Specs.  I know that after that I decided to go with the /copy
for my h-specs and it works very well.
