This programs already exists ! It's called TGBack and is available from the QDOS/SMS software repository ( http://smsq.free.fr/#DISK ). Example of use for the particular purpose of Norman's needs: EX TGBack_exe;"-from win1 -to win2 /m /s" Note that TGBack may also run unattented, e.g. from a boot file or in conjunction with "minicron" (MiniCron109.zip in the repository). > I think that is one of the major failings of QDOS/SMSQ - that date > stamps are transitory at the O/S level. TGBack does preserve files date stamp. QDOS/SMS forever ! Thierry ([EMAIL PROTECTED]).
