These aren't files - they are directories in Thomas Breuer's character table library package. In any case, what should I do? Should I inform Thomas? Would, for example, 1. Unpack the spkg, 2. run touch -r * in the top directory (I don't know if this is even legal), 3. repack, 4. repost the spkg solve the problem? I'm leaving for the airport in a few hrs and can do this when I eventually get to my "home machine". > > I agree and hope that David Joyner will fix this soon.
