Anybody know if this a bug or am I doing something wrong? cygwin B18 is not able to change the access and modification times of a directory. I've submitted changes to allow this for B19. If they are included they should rectify this error, at least on Windows NT. It may not be possible to change the time/date on a directory in Windows 95. -- http://www.bbc.com/ cgf@bbc.com "Strange how unreal VMS=>UNIX Solutions Boston Business Computing the real can be." - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
