Do you mean GNU date, which is a part of GNU coreutils? The name 'gdate' is often used so that the GNU utilities can be installed alongside vendor tools, allowing the choice between GNU and non-GNU. But since cygwin does not provide non-GNU vendor tools, you can just use 'date' instead of 'gdate' - I have no reason to complicate my packaging of coreutils just to add a 'g' prefix. And since coreutils is a Base package, you already have 'date' installed. - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
