>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.
