Why does WriteNow insist on changing the "Last modified" date in a
document's Finder file info even if the file is not saved?  Simply
opening and closing a file changes the modification time and date
to the current time and date, rendering USELESS having the modification
date there in the first place.

This is true of WriteNow 1.07 AND WriteNow 2.0, which otherwise has
taken care of many of the problems I had with 1.07.  It's very rude
of WriteNow to do this to files that are not saved, and NeXT or
T/Maker should change it.  If they do, I'd love a new copy.
