quoting date strings

[Steven N. Crane]

Hi,

I'm trying to use the -d switch with co. The man page says
I need to quote dates with embedded blanks. Fair enough.

But it doesn't seem to work for me.  (This is with RCS 5.7).

I get:

 > co -p -d"Mon Oct 30 15:07:21 PST 2000" file.c > file.c

co: RCS/Oct,v: No such file or directory
co: RCS/30,v: No such file or directory
co: RCS/15:07:21,v: No such file or directory
co: RCS/PST,v: No such file or directory
co: RCS/2000,v: No such file or directory
(followed by checkout of latest rev of file.c)

OR:

 > co -p -d'Mon Oct 30 15:07:21 PST 2000' file.c > file.c

co: RCS/Oct,v: No such file or directory
co: RCS/30,v: No such file or directory
co: RCS/15:07:21,v: No such file or directory
co: RCS/PST,v: No such file or directory
co: RCS/2000,v: No such file or directory
(followed by checkout of latest rev of file.c)

So how AM I supposed to quote the date?

Thanks,

- Steven
