The SET Command CP/M 3 User's Guide
When you set both UPDATE and CREATE time stamps, notice that
editing a file changes both the UPDATE and CREATE time stamps.
This is because ED does not update the original file but creates a new
version with the name of the original file.
Example: A>SET[ACCESS=ON]
The DIR with [FULL] option displays the following date and time
stamps:
B>DIR [FULL]
Directory for Drive B:
Name Bytes Recs Attributes Prot Update Access
------------------ ------ ---- ---------- ---- -------------- --------------
ONE TEX 9K 71 Dir RW None 08/03/81 10:56
THREE TEX 12K 95 Dir RW None 08/05/81 15:45
TWO TEX 10K 76 Dir RW None 08/10/81 09:13
The access time stamps displayed show the time the file was last displayed
or edited. Note that displaying a filename in a directory listing
does not constitute an access and is not recorded.
A>SET [CREATE=ON, UPDATE=ON]
The following DIR output below shows how files with create and update
time stamps are displayed.
B>DIR [FULL]
