This might have nothing to do with RHIDE.  Windows 9X has some real nasty
misfeatures related to file times.  In particular, depending on your
Windows version, the creation time can indeed be *after* the modified
time.  This is because the Windows 9X filesystem records the creation time
with 10 msec granularity, whereas the modified time is recorded with only
2 sec granularity. 

The last-access time is only a date, so I'd guess that you are 
interpreting it incorrectly.  I have never seen any dates in the next 
millenium.  It would help if you explain which program(s) did you use to 
display the file times.
