	Gulams "cp" command has both options

	cp +t <src> <dst>
		will copy to file <dst> and then will touch <dst> with the
		date and time of <src>, thereby preserving the date stamp.
	
	cp <src> <dst>
		will just copy to file <dst>. The date stamp of <dst> will
		be the present time.

	If you prefer the first flavour, simply put the following line
	in the startup file `gulam.g'

		alias cp 'cp +t'
