First of all, this should have been posted to comp.sys.apple instead of comp.binaries.apple2 BUT since the latter is the only group in which the string apple2 appears, I can understand the confusion. The original poster may not even read comp.sys.apple This is one of many good reasons to change the name of this group to comp.sys.apple2 Now on to his question, there is a COPY routine with the new Kermit package. But I don't like it. The COPied files have TODAY's date and time. This is a drawback because I don't really care to know what day I decided to copy a file, I want to know its original creation and latest modification time stamps. I don't count copying a file as creation or modification. Does anyone have a patch for the Kermit COPY.SYSTEM, or any copy utility (other than Copy II Plus) which preserves the time stamps?

I have a public domain COPY program, in the form of a ProDOS external command. I'm not sure if it preserves date stamps. And right now I don't have it with me. But when I find it (maybe early January), I'll post it to comp.binaries.apple2 for you. ~~ ____ ____ ____ __o o__ Cliff Tuel || || || ||__ ||__ \( v )/ ctuel@polyslo.CalPoly.EDU ||___ ||___ || || || /___\ {ucbvax,voder,pyramid}!polyslo!ctuel ^ ^
