(Ever try using MAKE in a system where copying > your files flakes out the date and time info? It doesn't work...! :( I disagree. It is very important copy updates the date to the current date and time. Example: I make some changes to a file which later proves to be damaging or useless. I get back the original source from a backup. This constitutes a change and therefore should affect the last modified date. If you are using MAKE, then you shouldn't move your files (at least not very often).
