Hi,
Thanks very much for your replies. However, this was not any homework
or assignment. This arose mainly from an argument regarding touch with
a fellow linux user, and since we did not have access to any machine
running linux, the best solution was this mail.
In fact, someone did give a wrong solution with touch, which was
precisely the point of argument. The mail was sent in the form below
so that we can get to know the other unnoticed ways, hoping that someone
mentions touch as a solution.
Anindya.
