That is marginally better.  A file has a timestamp and I feel that the one
and only valid timestamp is the one that indicates when the data in the file
was last changed.  Besides, when viewed from a low enough level, the DVM is
indeed a user :-)

The previous posting on this topic suggested a valid use for correcting the
timestamp of a file that had been transfered from another machine without
the timestamp being preserved.  That seems ok as a cure.  Apply the cure and
continue to press for prevention (the file xfer software could preserve the
timestamp).

cheers,
Jim
