If you use MAKE, or deal with any system where the time and
date stamping of files is critical, then occasionally a file
date can through a real wrench into the works.
Changing the system date then opening and closing the file
will change the date correctly, but tends to be a pain, and can
also create other problems. In addition, I occasionally want to
"fix" dates in a batch file.
SAMEDATE is a trivial little program to fix those instances.
It is used with two file names. SAMEDATE reads the date from
the first file, and changes to directory for the second. The
file date for the second is set to the same time/date plus one
minute.
Example:
SAMEDATE NODEDIFF.101 NODELIST.101
Assigns NODELIST.101 the same time and date stamp as
NODEDIFF.101 (plus one minute).

v1.1, Toad Hall Rewrite, 18 Oct 92
- Rewritten in assembly language to
(1) Tighten
(2) Dump all the unused functions the original program's
C compiler dragged in.
- I suppose the original author never heard of FDATE (FixDate)
or NFD (New File Date) .. but that's ok.
No copyright, no restrictions on the new v1.1 source code
or executable.
Released to the public domain.
