i have one more problem regarding the date of files,
when u copy a file from one folder to another folder, the date & time of file changes to today's date & time in the destination folder,
the main problem comes when u are using pkunzip , when u unzip any zip file the date & time of all unzipped files changes to today's date & time, so u loose the track of any file when it was last modified, and some time if u have to restore files from backup u will never come to know which is the latest file
is there any way to handle this

Unzip the files with a tool of your host OS.

well dosbox is intended to run games. Not to perform file management. Try to use your OS for that.

The reason for the missing is that is not very simple to add because of all the different operating systems and timezones.
