   SAVSTAMP is a  DateStamper(tm)  utility for  ZCPR3 systems, patterned after
Carson Wilson's similar  utility for  Z80DOS vs. 1 style timestamps.  SAVSTAMP
saves the create datestamp  of a specified file and (later) changes the create
datestamp of a (possibly different) file to the saved value.

   SAVSTAMP can  be used  before and after running programs (such as most text 
editors) that delete  and then recreate a modified version of a file, in order 
to preserve the file's original create datestamp.

   Syntax:  SAVSTAMP approg [dir:]filename.typ   <-- save/restore create stamp

            SAVSTAMP [du:]filename.typ [/S]      <-- save create stamp

            SAVSTAMP [du:]filename.typ /x        <-- set create date from
                                                     saved stamp

"approg" is the actual application program to be run on "[dir:]filename.typ."

SAVSTAMP Notes:

   a. SAVSTAMP uses the last 5 bytes of the user area of the ZCPR3 message
      buffer.

   b. With Version 0.3, SAVSTAMP does command line buffer handling; that is,
      "SAVSTAMP LZED filename.typ" will save the create date to safe memory,
      execute the "LZED filename.typ" part of the command tail, and restore
      the original create date on exit from LZED, automagically.
