cp -p


I asked about cp -p some weeks ago and got no response. Can anyone confirm/deny
that cp -p works?

I have done 

	cp -p fileA fileB
	ln -ali a fileA fileB

and find that fileB is a copy of fileA but the date/time is now rather than
the date/time associated with fileA.

I am running on NT 4.0 (service pack 3) and using the latest coolview. The discs
are FAT.


Any help much appreciated
