1. O F F - T O P I C
All,
I know I have done this before, but can not remember how.
I need to change the Last Modified Date on a DOS File, but I do
not need to Modify the file in any way, is there some one who
knows how this is done?
Thanks in Advance for any help.

In DOS, type the following on the command line:
COPY filename.ext +
This will update the file's Last Modified Date without changing the file's
contents.

Thanks worked like a charm, it allowed me to get around a pascal
compiler error about a unit needing to be rebuilt, I did not have
the source for the original unit, Program compiled and runs like
a river.
