It might, I was going by:

terry@timestorm: /home/terry/GPModula/doc
21:16:33 $ grep -B 6 ENTERED `which gaze`
          unset    BOLD
          unset  UNBOLD
        fi
        if  [  ${#SPELL}  -gt  15  ];  then
          SPELL="<font size=-1>$SPELL</font>"
        fi
        if  [  -z  "$UPDATED"  ]  &&  [  "$ENTERED"  ];  then
            UPDATED=$ENTERED
--
newer()  {

  DATE=$1
  if  [  -n  "$DATE"  ];  then
    for  SPELL  in  `codex_get_all_spells`;  do
      codex_set_current_spell  $SPELL
      if  [  "$ENTERED"  ]  &&  [  $ENTERED  -gt  $DATE  ];  then

But it's quite possible that it also uses other tests.
