Hi Steve,
It appears the only remaining problem is that the timestamp isn't being
set correctly with the touch command, and the sudden change in time
reflects the timestamp update on the server instead of the client.

I've made some changes to try a different way of setting the timestamp
under WfW and will post a patch shortly.

Regards,
Bill
