I am trying to use mkisofs to create some backups and it 
appears to be working fine, except that the stored files
all have dates and times of when mkisfos was run instead
of the actual date/time stamps on the files.

I know this isn't a restriction of ISO 9660 since I used
to use a Meridian CD-ROM mastering system and it had no
problem with leaving file dates as they were in the
master directories.   Only the directory dates reflected
the time when the ISO 9660 filesystem was constructed.
That's OK.

Any ideas?  The man page doesn't seem to mention anything
about controlling dates.   I need the CD9660 date/times
on files to be unaltered so that a non-Rock Ridge systems
(Windoze/DOS) will see the correct dates.

Keeping the dates/times correct is important for legal reasons.

The system being used is running 2.2-GAMMA, HP4020i
burner, and the mkisofs package that 2.2-GAMMA-0215
provides.

Thanks for any pointers.
