Unless I'm looking at the wrong test, it's not creation time, but rather mtime, which is the last time the contents of the file were modified (probably ATR$C_REVDATE unless POSIX timestamps are enabled on an ODS-5 disk). And even though the test description says "mtime preserved by copy()", it's not testing copy() but rather move(). If you simply rename a file, it does seem that mtime ought to stay the same. Not sure why that's not working on VMS. -- ________________________________________ Craig A. Berry mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] "... getting out of a sonnet is much more difficult than getting in."
