In ~/Mail are scores of files dating from 1991; for the most part this Content-Type = "text/html" for rough example only began in the late 90's. But there are scads of them. I'm looking at pulling some of the guts from cp (copy -p that preserves the time-stamp [and more]). If mtree is an easier route, then great. How would I run this file -rw--- 1 kline wheel306870 Dec 22 2004 ebay.com thru my filter and have wind up with its original timestamp. gary PS: I'm prob'ly making this more complicated than need be -- Gary Kline [EMAIL PROTECTED] www.thought.org Public service Unix ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
