The program you need is ACOPY.  The latest version is 3.3.  I'm not
sure if it is available in the net archives though.  If not you can find it
on ZeeMachine here in the San Jose area: 408-245-1420.  ACOPY 3.3 does
offer full support of datestamps and use of the archive bit.  The author
of the program calls ZeeMachine regularly and is more than happy to 
assist if you require any help, but I believe ACOPY should meet all of
your needs 'right out of the box'.

You mean you have ZCPR34 and actually prefer vanilla CP/M??
I'm shocked.. :)
