If you copy a file, the copied file should have the same date and time as=

the original file.  But, if you modify a file, the time and date will
change.

Why don't you set the date/time of the file to a predetermined value.  Th=

way you will be sure of a match, and you can do tricks such as setting th=

time equal to the version number of the file.
