I would like to get a list of all of the files modified between 2 dates.  I
see that there is a -newermt DATE predicate, which works as documented and
which is half the problem.  But I do not see an -oldermt DATE predicate.
In reading the archives, I see that there was a discussion of a -mbefore
predicate, but it isn't recognized in find version 4.6.0.225-235f in ubuntu
19.10.

The best workaround that I have seen is to use the ddiff command in the
dateutils package, and use that with the -mtime N predicate. Is there a
better solution?  Seems like a kludge to me.


Thank you

Jeff
