Strange... in both the man page and the help output, there is no
-justmedia option, but I do see it when running the strings command on
the bpexpdate binary.
I tried 'bpexpdate -recalculate -m A87609 -justmedia -ret 7' and it says
'invalid command usage'. Perhaps it's deprecated, or not implemented
yet? Any suggestions?
