In MS-DOS 6.21, is there a way to copy a file and retain the date/time stamp of the original file on the file copy? --- Will in Seattle

Oops!
I got confused by a macro in my text editor which was automatically re-saving the same file each time I ran it. So that's why the time stamp kept changing.
It wasn't the MS-DOS COPY command at all.
Duh!
So, now, is there a way to remove this redundant thread from this forum. --- Will in Seattle
