Assume:

1) the system clock can be manually reset when the rebuilding is complete, AND
2) the system does not allow net access until the rebuilding is complete, AND
3) the directory names contain no "funny characters", e.g., space, 
tab,|,>,<,etc., AND
4) there is a file named OLD_DIR.CAT containing lines of the format below:

2001-05-21 14:51        <DIR>   original_directory

Faster approach:

@echo off
*setlocal
*unalias /q *
do d in @OKD_DIR.CAT
  echo %@word[0,%d] | date >nul
  echo %@word[1,%d] | time >nul
  md /n %@word[-0,%d]
enddo
pause Reset system date and time
date
time
endlocal

NOTE that md /n will not update JPSTRRE.IDX for each directory created. If 
Fuzzy CD is used, you should run cdd /s after the driectory tree is created, 
but before it is populated for best performance.
