But to foul up my own point, I just remembered that on the linux systems I have played with, the GNU "cp" command does NOT copy original date/time UNLESS you specify the "-a" parameter.

This date-setting behavior is pretty standard across many systems. For example, if you copy a file in DOS (or UNIX, IIRC) the creation date of the new file is set to the creation date of the old file, not the date that you did the copy.
