@cd is 05/01/11 and it should be 01/01/89.  No I haven't figured why 
yet, but the dates are about the same as when fpcopy was used.  When I 
say "dates" I mean that @cd changes dates.  I have copies of the MAC in 
which @cd changes to 11/02/10, and 04/12/11,  These dates are, maybe, 
when Bill or I used fpcopy.

I was wrong when I said that the problem was that I had used a dummy 
field called cd.

It just made sure there were not two cd's.

Here is the first record in the file viewed with Atlantis.  The 
"01/01/89" shown in the upper right is the creation date.  But @cd shows 
up with one of the dates listed above.

I put an attachment showing screen1 but it was too big to send.  All I 
did was place !@cd on screen1 to show the creation date.

I don't know what is going on.
