Hey guys,
This bounced for me, so I guess (no surprise) his email address
isn't current. I doubt he's really interested [last updated in 2001],
but feel free to ping him for me if you know how to contact him.

Subject: REPLACE 1.2 (incorrect setftime usage)
To: rene.ableidinger@bogus
I think there's a bug in REPLACE regarding usage of setftime, it won't
preserve the timestamp correctly. Well, just now testing, it works
properly under DOSEMU (go figure), but I swear in real native FreeDOS
it does not. Feel free to confirm!
P.S. I do not have Borland C, and while this (thankfully) compiles in
DJGPP, I cannot rebuild it (without some stub functions) in TC201,
TCPP101, nor OpenWatcom19. For TurboC++, the main problem is lacking
_fullpath (similar to "truename"?). OpenWatcom has more
incompatibilities but probably? can be worked around somehow with
minor tweaks (or bits from Blair's libc).
