1 Thank you. I found out my cute genlop command doesn't work the way I

5 In particular, I generated a file with a hybrid of your sed command
6 and my list-to-a-file idea, and edit the lines that didn't work as

9 Thank you. Now that that's out of the way, maybe, I wonder what else
10 may be stuck due to the date blowup. For sure, there are some config
11 files that the system points out.
