I have 4 files dated May 1, 2, 3, & 4.
jforonda_at_rapanui$ ls -l
total 0

-rw-r--r--   1 jforonda staff          0 May  1 01:00 may01.trc
-rw-r--r--   1 jforonda staff          0 May  2 01:00 may02.trc
-rw-r--r--   1 jforonda staff          0 May  3 01:00 may03.trc
-rw-r--r--   1 jforonda staff          0 May  4 01:00 may04.trc

Today is May 8:

jforonda_at_rapanui$ date
Mon May 8 17:35:48 EDT 2006

I want to see files that were last modified five days ago:

jforonda_at_rapanui$ find . -type f -mtime 5 ./may03.trc

Is that what you are looking for?

I'm using OpenSolaris but it should work in Solaris 8 as well.

HTH, James
