There is a A.DBF file at hand. How to make its modification time be the current time?
First, I wrote BREAK >A.DBF
But the format of the DBF file was cleared.. It's not a database file anymore.
Then I changed it to BREAK >>A.DBF...
The modification time didn't change again.. May I ask how to solve it?

See someone's one
E:
CD E:\1
COPY A.DBF+;
can be realized....
But if you directly write the path in COPY, there is no change.. May I ask why?

I think so:
Copying a.dbf to c:\a just simply copies the file from one path to another, and of course the time attributes of the original file are also copied over. And Copy a.dbf+; is another usage of the copy command. In fact, it is equivalent to appending or modifying, so its modification time will naturally change.
