Subj : REDATE.....

Hello All,

I picked up a little utility:

   REDATE2.ZIP

   Redate archive files to the date of the newest file within.
   Contains C source code.

I have to report that there is a "cosmetic" (???) bug within the
executable.  For example:

=== d:\files\bfds\redate.log ===
      --== 03-30-02  05:58 ==--
TSBAT74.ZIP    223724   1-01-80   0:00 A large collection of useful batch
                                      files & batch programming tricks from
                                      Prof. Timo Salmi
                                      http://www.uwasa.fi/~ts/
Resetting file date on D:\FILES\BFDS\TSBAT74.ZIP to  3/28/102  12:14:58
=== End ===

I received this file through the FileGate and for some reason
the date and time of the archive is not consistent with the files
within.  I use Redate on all archives coming to *my* system to
have the date / time of the archive be representative of the
files within....

The "bug" that I alluded to is the fact that while Redate sets
(and displays) the month and day correctly, the year notation is
what I find questionable.  Note: I did not detect any problem
with the time stamp.

Would someone be agreeable to try a hand at revising the source
to:

  A.   Fix the little "Year" problem.

  B.   Expand the source to handle #_MORE_# archive formats.

Just my wish list......

          Cheers ... Gerald
