Win32 version of Info-Zip and UnZip (http://www.info-zip.org/) compensate the time difference if a FAT is detected. To preserve time stamps, use zip+unzip instead of copy to transfer files between NTFS and FAT. Note that this does not work with most other zip-tools (including Cygwin version of zip/unzip, 7-Zip, Windows build-in zip, ...). Using Win32 Info-Zip with another unzip and vice versa may be counter-productive ... Christian PS: Hmm... would it be a useful Cygwin feature to (optionally) compensate the time difference for files on a FAT? -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
