[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]
Hi

I've noticed that split puts a date on the split parts that is different
from that of the file being split.

To my mind the parts should have the same date and time as the file being
split.

Kind Regards and Stay Safe

That would be an unusual requirement.
One can always update the date if desired like:

  $ split file
  $ touch --reference=file x??
