First of all, this should have been posted to comp.sys.apple instead of
comp.binaries.apple2  BUT since the latter is the only group in which the
string apple2 appears, I can understand the confusion.  The original poster
may not even read comp.sys.apple  This is one of many good reasons to change
the name of this group to comp.sys.apple2

Now on to his question, there is a COPY routine with the new Kermit package.
But I don't like it.  The COPied files have TODAY's date and time.  This is
a drawback because I don't really care to know what day I decided to copy a
file, I want to know its original creation and latest modification time stamps.
I don't count copying a file as creation or modification.

Does anyone have a patch for the Kermit COPY.SYSTEM, or any copy utility
(other than Copy II Plus) which preserves the time stamps?
