[comp.os.cpm] timestamps updating

larry.moore@canremote.uucp (LARRY MOORE) (06/06/90)

I've run across something puzzling and perhaps someone could explain it
to me? I'm using David Goodenough's UUCP21 under CP/M Plus (a Morrow
Decision's 11) - the collected messages (the .MAI files) are added to
when new uucp packets come in, no problem; the problem is that somehow
the access timestamp isn't changed even though the file is altered.
Are CP/M+ timestamps not changed for random read/write BDOS calls, just
for sequential read/write BDOS calls or it there another explanation?
Thanks, larry moore
