- MSTouch is a utility to set the date and time stamp of any file(s) under
- MDOS. It accepts wildcards and path specifications. MSTouch searchs the
- specified directory until all matches on the filename have been found.
-
- So what good is this, one might say. It can be of a great help in the
- development of a large software package. Especially if a make facility
- is being utilized. I also use it to simply mark files to insure that I
- can tell whether or not a file has been altered in any way. The user may
- blank out the time field of a directory entry by simply setting the time
- to 0 (midnight). This is helpful in determining which files within a
- directory have not been backed up recently.
-
- Sysops can use it to insure that the date stamp of a file reflects the
- true upload date. Software developers can set the date and time of all
- files in a package prior to delivery.
