In reply, Morgan Conrad informed me that the debugged version may
still announce itself as #1.0 and may have exactly the same byte size.
The file write date is unreliable since the HP Pascal Filer/Filecopy
function changes the date to the current date. Thus the only way to
tell if it skips files is by how it performs.
