When I use Central Point Software Mac Tools 2.0 Backup, selecting method
"differential", the backup date of backed up files is changed (confirmed
by inspecting with CPS MT 2.0 Disk Edit).  According to the doc, this
shouldn't happen: the essential difference between Incremental and
Differential Backup is that the latter is supposed to "_not_ update the
backup dates ..." (emphasis sic in CPS RM).

Has anyone else any experience to confirm or refute this?  I've filed
bug report with CPS; I assume they'll get to it after the holidays.
