Gzip not keeping original file date

[Dennis Luckau]

c:\>gzip -V

gzip 1.3.12

This version of Gzip does not keep the original file date/time stamp. When
compressing files, the current system time is stamped on each file.

 

I installed from gzip-1.3.5-3.exe with a date/time stamp of 2/15/2007 1:34
PM.

Since someone else built the executable, please report the bug to them
directly.  They can then determine whether (as is quite possible) the
bug was in the particular way that they built from the source.  Thanks.

Thanks Paul. I thought I had downloaded from the official place
(http://gnuwin32.sourceforge.net/packages/gzip.htm). If you can point me a
better place to get the latest windows build that would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Dennis
