I once wrote a VM version of the unix TOUCH program, changing a files
timestamp to the current date and time. To do this I used the GETFST function.
I have two problems with this:
1.   The FST entry only gets changed in memory. Normally no problem, but
     when you reaccess the disk the disk version is read and replaces the
     memory version -> no change is done. So how do I tell CMS to change the
     disk version of the FST too ?
2.   The directory of our system disks is loaded in the shared segments. Is
     there a simple way to detect wether a given disk is in unalterable
     storage or not ?
