+\dd This option causes \cw{agedu} to index files by their last
+modification time instead of their last access time. You might want
+to use this if your last access times were completely useless for
+some reason: for example, if you had recently searched every file on
+your system, the system would have lost all the information about
+what files you hadn't recently accessed before then. Using this
+option is liable to be less effective at finding genuinely wasted
+space than the normal mode (that is, it will be more likely to flag
+things as disused when they're not, so you will have more candidates
+to go through by hand looking for data you don't need), but may be
+better than nothing if your last-access times are unhelpful.

The following options affect the web server mode \cw{-w}, and in one
case also the stand-along HTML generation mode \cw{-H}:
requires \cw{O(N log N)} storage. This is larger than you might
expect; a scan of my own home directory, containing half a million
files and directories and about 20Gb of data, produced an index file
-nearly a third of a Gb in size. Furthermore, since the data file
-must be memory-mapped during most processing, it can never grow
-larger than available address space, which means that any use of
-\cw{agedu} on a file system more than about ten times the above size
-is probably going to have to be done on a 64-bit computer.

+memory-mapped during most processing, it can never grow larger than
+available address space, so a \em{really} big filesystem may need to
+be indexed on a 64-bit computer. (This is one reason for the
+existence of the \cw{-D} and \cw{-L} options: you can do the

+indexing on a machine big enough to handle it.)
The data structure also does not usefully permit access control
within the data file, so it would be difficult \dash even given the
