G'day mates,

From time to time I need to "touch" a group of data files and their 
derivatives so they all end up with the same time stamp.

To date, I've been using the 15-year old FD.EXE from my old version of 
Norton's Utilities.  It works, but it can be a pain to use in deep 
directory structures because you have to either migrate to the 
directory from the DOS prompt, or specify the whole bloody thing on 
the command line. It's clearly one of those cases where something like 
the Windows Explorer interface has the advantage over the DOS CLI.

So, question is, what can you recommend that will do this sort of job 
under Windows 9x and XP?  It's not such a big deal that I want to 
spend anything more than a trivial amount of money on it, at most. :)

Cheers, Phred.
