	The reason I'm posting this is that CT just showed up in our
comp.sources.atari.st; I sent it to James weeks ago, and assumed it had
gotten lost along the net somewhere; that's the reason that I then
posted it to comp.sys.atari.st.

	Let me state that it has NEVER barfed on a copy to a file that already
exists for me (I'm not flaming James here, he's undoubtedly not lying!)!
Good lord, I wouldn't post something that flakey!  I've been using ct for
months and have encountered no problems.  The only thing I can think of is
that I've only tested it under MWC's 'msh.'  I also have the MT Csh, but have
not tested in that environment.  Another possibility is that the target file
had write access removed, but I doubt James would have missed that.

	So.  Someone also responded to me that Gulam has an option to
update the time with cp and mv, so ct is really only useful under BDT's
Micro Csh (and MT Csh), and under MWC's msh.

	If anyone else encounters problems, please email me.

	Oh yes.  The reason that the error message printed by ct was
":	something or other" is that I relied upon MWC's environment-
passing method, wherein argv[0] is the program name.  MT Csh follows
this as well, I believe.  Normally the error messges are "ct:	..."
