Thanks for the thoughts about filtering the C++ files to strip out the
timestamps. The problem there is that this would kill much of the
functionality of the CASE tool, which uses the time stamp to tell whether
it needs to reverse engineer changes in the source code. It's trying to
keep a database synchronized with the source code under changes both to the
database and to the source code, so every time it gets focus from the OS,
it checks to see both whether the source code's timestamp matches the
database's timestamp and whether the source code's modification time
matches the source code's timestamp. Deleting the time stamp would thus
kill much of the functionality of the tool.
Thanks nonetheless for the suggestions. I appreciate your thoughts.
