I am trying to copy a file from a remote machine to my Amiga preserving
the modification time of the file. My question is how to set the time
of the Amiga file to the time of the remote file. Under UNIX, utime()
usually accomplishes this. Is there a similar function under AmigaDOS?

The function is an AmigaDOS packet: ACTION_SET_DATE=34L Sent it to the message port returned by DeviceProc(filename) Open your libraries with 33L since this is a new V1.2 function arg0 = NULL arg1 = lock on parent of file arg2 = BPTR (yick!) to BSTR of filename arg3 = APTR to a DateStampt structure [ You will need to know how to send DOS packets to use this information ] A user can set the time of a file with "SetDate" form the A500/A2000 Workbench disk (About $650, includes A500). This has a "defect" in that you _must_ supply a time and can't just "touch" the file with the current date and time. |\ /| . Ack! (NAK, ENQ, SYN) {o O} .

Users who are low on cash can just use the identical 1.2 A1000 Workbench SetDate command. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Carolyn Scheppner -- CATS >>Commodore Amiga Technical Support<< UUCP ...{allegra,ihnp4,rutgers}!cbmvax!carolyn PHONE 215-431-9180 =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
