Using TOUCH.EXE
---------------
Sometimes you'll want to force a target file to be recompiled or
rebuilt even though you haven't changed it. One way to do this is to
use the TOUCH utility. TOUCH changes the date and time of one or more
files to the current date and time, making it "newer" than the files
that depend on it.

You can force MAKE to rebuild a target file by touching one of the
files that target depends on. To touch a file (or files), type the
following at the command prompt:

        touch filename [filename...]

TOUCH updates the file's creation date and time.

Before you use TOUCH, make sure your system's internal clock is set
correctly. If it isn't, TOUCH and MAKE won't work properly.
