Time Stamp Problems Revisited

I have tried to reproduce these problems with test files from three different editors(edit,notepad,vim), and used fcopy to then copy them to another directory. There was no problems observed with the time stamps in any of the files or their copies this time. It appears this problem only occurred with files that originated from or modified from the version of DOS of about a year ago(can't recall the version). Only create time and access time are initialized to 0-00-80. Despite the fact that 0 is an invalid date digit, this isn't a problem for even norton diskedit, although probably it would be good idea in later versions to initialize these entries with valid digits, even if they are not used for any purpose. It might confuse some programs or something. I also noticed a rather peculiar bug. Perhaps this is known? It seems that when I hit C+A+Delete to reboot, and my pwd is other than root, my system clock gets changed! Has anyone else experienced this problem? George
