Yes, DMSPLU is nice for that (I sometimes do the same), but, as mentioned, once you download it, that date gets wiped out, and if you then upload to a VM system, using FTP or PCOMM, that date gets wiped ot in its turn... Only ALMCOPY preserves file dates when exchanging files between VM and PCs, but ALMCOPY is not generally available on Windows; it worked only perfectly well with OS:2 clients.
