I have been having the a common problem with both tar and touch. I am
running Windows NT 4.0 with NTFS file systems.
The problem is all files extracted from a tar archive and all files that are
the subjet of a touch command have the file date set to 1969/12/31 with a
time in the range of around 19:00
Example (to file on NTFS partitions):
touch -d 5/5/88 xx
dir xx
69/12/31 19:02 0 xx
touch -d "5/5/88 12:34" yy
dir yy
69/12/31 18:58 0 yy
If I do the same to a FAT file system partition or to a Novell netware drive
the date seems to always be the current date and time.
Has anyone else seen this problem, or does it work for you?
I expect the problem is in some common library routine rather than in tar or
touch.
