Thanks! I should of noted that touch works as well, so I suspect if that is what 'more' does it would work to. I'll try it(I have to wait for ttl to expire so it takes awhile), and will post only if it does not work. I just think it's odd that we would have to use these more unusual methods to copy the files to get the server to recognize a change. When I use copy, xcopy, etc. the time stamps do change, eg. a.htm picks up the time stamp of b.htm so it is different as is the file size. 
 
We can doc to only use cp or touch(after a copy), but I am sure at some point someone will forget and therefor their new doc will never be posted until they check and correct the method they used to replace the file. That's what I plan to do for now anyway.
 
Thanks again!
 
Jennifer Lee

Just a wild observation, but xcopy/copy/etc all preserve the time stamp on win.

If you use

more a.htm > b.htm

what happens?  This will 'touch' the datestamp of b.htm to the current time.
