Need a script to move files where their last mod date <= 'xx MMM yyyy'

[Evan]

thanks for all the replies.
As I said I am looking for help on a script
man script doesnt help neither does google.
I am aware of find cp and mv
I expect I should iterate through the find results and move the 
respective files but I was thinking of a cp or mv flag which will do 
what I want without resorting to a foreach loop.

my scripting skills are limited hence my question.

thanks anyway
evan
