I abandoned PSIS some time ago because it seemed to be so slow.  That might 
have been because an over-enthusiastic virus checker didn't understand it; 
being a compiled batch language, it's probably slightly strange.  In the 
event, I think I used 1DIR with output piped through LMOD, so I could 
rename the file to its own original creation date.

However, it turns out the problem I had with CMDTIMEW was my own fault.  
I'd tried to rename the file using one of the standard time strings, which 
contain colons.  And, DOS absolutely will NOT let you have colons in file 
names  :-)

I already had TZ set for Info-Zip, so didn't see any differences.

No, I haven't noticed that one.  Care to link in to FIDO_UTILS and discuss 
it with Bob?  He's already produced another version with more variations on 
how you can pass quote marks in/round parameters.

     Regards,

              Robert.
