[ILUG] it started out as a question about the find utility

[bryan hunt]

I was going to ask the following question of the group ...

"Does anyone know how to get 'find' to return all files older than a 
certain age.

But I decided that I shouldn't be so lazy, so I called 'man find' to 
find the solution myself.  I read through the man page but a lot of the 
text was unreadable.

It looked like the text below ... I don't know much about charactersets 
so perhaps it will look normal to some of you.

snip=
 Like -name, but the match is case insensitive.  For example, the
              patterns âfo*â and âF??â match  the  file  names  âFooâ,  
âFOOâ,
              âfooâ, âfOoâ, etc.

In addition I when I run the following command 'pstree -a' I get the 
following unreadable crap.

snip=
 ââcourierlogger imapd
  ââcourierlogger imapd-ssl
  ââcouriertcpd -address=127.0.0.1 
-stderrlogger=/usr/lib/courier-imap/sbin/courierlogger -stderrlog
  ââcouriertcpd -address=0 
-stderrlogger=/usr/lib/courier-imap/sbin/courierlogger -stderrloggername=
  â   ââcouriertls -server -tcpd /usr/lib/courier-imap/sbin/imaplogin 
/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/
  â   â   ââimapd Maildir
  â   ââcouriertls -server -tcpd /usr/lib/courier-imap/sbin/imaplogin 
/usr/lib/courier-imap/libexec/authlib/

I'm running Redhat enterprise linux 3.0, anyone with a better knowledge 
( mine is non-existant ) of charactersets and all that crap have any 
idea what I'm doing wrong ?
