Creation in the future! Why? don't know so I did the same but this time using SET LFN=Y all the time (first time the files were created with LFN=N). Here is the process: 1) "ftimes > foo1" to create the first. 2) "cp foo1 foo2" and so on to create foo2 to 9 3) "ftimes foo[1-9] > pp" gives: foo1 06/29/1998 15:51:12.380 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:14.000 foo2 06/29/1998 15:51:17.940 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:18.000 foo3 06/29/1998 15:51:19.870 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:20.000 foo4 06/29/1998 15:51:20.720 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:22.000 foo5 06/29/1998 15:51:21.540 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:22.000 foo6 06/29/1998 15:51:22.410 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:24.000 foo7 06/29/1998 15:51:23.280 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:24.000 foo8 06/29/1998 15:51:24.200 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:26.000 foo9 06/29/1998 15:51:25.130 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:26.000 All OK. 4) Now: touch foo[1-9]: foo1 06/29/1998 15:51:12.380 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:44.000 foo2 06/29/1998 15:51:17.940 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:44.000 foo3 06/29/1998 15:51:19.870 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:44.000 foo4 06/29/1998 15:51:20.720 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:44.000 foo5 06/29/1998 15:51:21.540 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:44.000 foo6 06/29/1998 15:51:22.410 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:44.000 foo7 06/29/1998 15:51:23.280 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:44.000 foo8 06/29/1998 15:51:24.200 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:44.000 foo9 06/29/1998 15:51:25.130 06/29/1998 00:00:00.000 06/29/1998 15:51:44.000 Again! the files are in the future. Looks like touch is messing the creation time. I'll run the second test to see if that shows the exact problem.
