There are a number of ways to use COPYFILE in conjunction with OLDDATE that can achieve the result of the same timestamp and size but different file content. I've had reason to do similar manipulations it in the distant past, but I doubt that you'd encounter it in the service stream. More common would be to encounter a file that hasn't changed, but has a new timestamp. Personally, I've always thought it easier to work at the level of "I need these minidisks" and copy them whole rather than worry about what files were added/deleted/changed. They're not that big and the risks become larger when you slice and dice them. Brian Nielsen
