Full documentation is at: http://www.devguy.com/fp/cfgmgmt/cvs/#DST There is a better solution there than I mentioned in earlier mail, and this bit of background info in the brief FAQ: "3) Why does this problem exist? Because Microsoft's Win32 API file status reporting functions report incorrect file modification dates. According to Microsoft, "This is by design." Thus, file status functions that work properly under Unix return incorrect results under Windows. Moreover, the incorrect results are incorrect in different ways depending on whether the file system is FAT or NTFS."
