when extracting files with (de)arj the file-time is set to current and not to the time stored in the archive

this causes an error on extracting next volume in multi-volume archives:

"[file] is not the same date/time, Skipped [file]"

extracting the archive in a dos shell works fine with correct file-time set.

f.e. this breaks installation-process of 'Star Trek: Judgement Rites'

I see. Well that is correct
dosbox fakes the setting of date and time.
Didn't know it would cause problems
I never looked into a cross platform (default C call) to set the date and time on files. Might be a good idea

Ok I am having the same problem. How do you correct? Don't know what default C call is... Is there a workaround?? Please help. Would love to play this game again since I haven't played it it like 10+ years.

When I extracted in a dos shell under vista it makes it past this point but then cancels the sound decompression with a totally different error.

Any help would be appreciated...
