I'm looking for the name of a utility that'll allow me to set the
dates on files, in other words, the date you see when you view by
name.  This is the date that a backup program would use?  

The name and location (anonymous ftp is best, natch) is enough.  Any
more you can add would be bonus.

The backup program I use goes by dates, and a lot of unchanging files
have a date of 2040 which I think is the Mac's top end of dates.  I'm
assuming that this is the only date that can be set, and that the 
backup program (Tecmar QT Backup) uses this for incrementals.  Any Tecmar
people out there?  E-mail me!

I want to set the date on all of the files to the current date, any other
functions would be, uh, bonus.

advaTHANKSnce!  Brian Aslakson
