Folks
The Touch command seems to have lost the -B option.
It was present in version 4.5.3, and is absent in 5.2.1

example, ten days old.
Is there some other way to do it?
Thanks
David

Yes, it's a nice thing to add. Thanks too.
I reviewed the patch and have some more ideas, which I installed as
follows. One more thing (which I didn't do yet) is that there's a
reasonable amount of code
I noticed the following disagreement between gnulib and coreutils:
