Now that is a good idea!

ls --version
ls (coreutils) 5.2.1

And:

$ unalias ls
[~ :)]$ ls -l fontslist
-rw-r--r--  1 martin martin 2626 Mar  3  2004 fontslist

[~ :)]$ ls --time=ctime -l fontslist
-rw-r--r--  1 martin martin 2626 Aug  7 12:37 fontslist

[~ :)]$ ls --time=atime -l fontslist
-rw-r--r--  1 martin martin 2626 Nov 23 14:20 fontslist


OK, so the "-l" is needed *also*! (Works fine without the unalias)

But now... So how do those dates add up? I thought the "-l" default
showed the "modification" time?


Thanks,
Martin
