>3. ct does not seem to save the timestamp when run from the desktop.

	If you'll look at the source, you'll see that I don't preserve the
old timestamp if you're simply copying one file to another, rather than
one or more files to a destination directory.  My reason was
that this can be seen as creating a new file, rather than making a backup
(and I think MS-DOS does this?  It's been a while since I've used MS-DOS),
but in retrospect I decided that this is hogwash.  It's a simple thing to
change in the source.  I'll do it myself someday, but I won't bother reposting.
