COPY/U and COPY/UF should always use the Modification Date but in my experience they sometimes don't.

Not in my experience. At least it is unreliable in using the Modification Date to do the comparison. In some cases in my own experience, COPY /UF copies everything, even if the file has been unchanged for years. I don;t know why this happens but it has happened to me several times in the last...

Yes. It has a lot of abilities but it does not have the ability to set the creation date to be less than or equal to the modification date for all files in a single directory or an entire directory tree. One possibility of implementing what I want is to add this capability to the TOUCH command.

The whole purpose of Take Command is to NOT require the user of Take Command to write their own programs to do simple operations like finding out all of the information about a file. Instead, the user should be able to do that with only a simple command with the appropriate qualifier.

You should create a new command to update one or more of a file's timestamps. The default behavior (without any command qualifiers) should be to make sure that the file's Create Timestamp is no later than the file's Update Timestamp. I have numerous files where for some unknown reason the...

You should add a /FULL qualifier to the DIR command. It should work like the DIRECTORY /FULL command in DCL, the OpenVMS command line interpreter. I.e., the /FULL qualifier should list all of the information that is known about a file in the file's directory entry.

I would like you to enhance the COPY and DIR commands to o this: COPY /UF and COPY /U should always use the Modify date in order to determine whether or not to copy a file. Sometimes when I use COPY /UF, the command copies every file in the directory tree, not just those files in the target...
