Oops.  Mistake in the documentation.  For 2.0, there is no /mac/bin/settc.  
Instead, use /mac/bin/setfile, which is a superset of settc.  Usage for
setfile is the same as MPW, which is as follows:

SetFile [optionI] fileI
    -a attributes           # attributes (lowercase = 0, uppercase = 1)
    -c creator              # file creator
    -d date                 # creation date (mm/dd/yy [hh:mm[:ss] [AM | PM]])
    -l h,v                  # ICON location (horizontal,vertical)
    -m date                 # modification date (mm/dd/yy [hh:mm[:ss] [AM | PM]])
    -t type                 # file type

    Note: Period (.) represents the current date and time.
    Note: The following attributes may be used with the -a option:
        L   Locked
        V   Invisible
        B   Bundle
        S   System
        I   Inited
        D   Desktop
        M   Shared (can run multiple times)
        A   Always switch launch (if possible)
