I typically do modify the times to reflect the version number. Of course that's not necessary by any means, but it's a habit I started doing as a quick and easy contingency to help me in the event of files becoming crossed, e.g. if I were to accidentally drop files into the wrong version folder or some such errantry.
Is the preferred behavior to not touch the times? If so, I can certainly refrain from doing so in future packages. :) Sent with Proton Mail secure email. ------- Original Message ------- On Sunday, October 1st, 2023 at 7:04 PM, Jim Hall via Freedos-user <freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net> wrote: > Eric wrote: > > > You can also find updates for JEMM and HIMEMX on Japheth's GitHub "Baron > > von Riedesel", even his HIMEMSX to use more than 4 GB RAM :-) > > > Mercury Thirteen wrote: > [..] > > > Looks like I fell behind on keeping up with all of Japheth's updates!
