Something strange with On-Rev

[Alex Tweedly]

That's just the way "ls -l" works .....

if the modification date is a while ago, words 6 - 8 contain the date, 
month and year
if the modification date is recent enough, words 6 - 8 contain the date, 
month and time

e.g.

I'd use "the detailed files" rather than messing with "ls -l"
