Subject: Modified date due to File.copy


Hi

I am developing an application where I have to rely on the
date of files. If I do copy files, I expect to have the "last modified
date" to stay the same on the copy.

With File.copy the "last modified" date, e.g. as it appears in
the Explorer (yes, I am on Windows (XP/2000)), changes.

Is there any way to avoid this? The call to system ("copy", ...)
did not succeed but returned false - is that supposed to work?

Thanks,
Michael
