Under 2.0, the function:

BOOL SetFileDate(char *Name,struct DateStamp *DateStamp)

while change the date of the file/directory named <Name> to the date in
the DateStamp structure DateStamp.

For example, to set the date of the file "foo" to 1:05:03 am, Jan 4, 1978
(yes, I chose that DateStamp because it was easy to figure out in my
head :-)):

...
	static struct DateStamp DateStamp ={
		3, /* 3 days since Jan 1, 1978 */
		65, /* 65 minutes past midnight */
		150, /* 150 ticks past minute */
	};
	BOOL Success;
...
	Success=SetFileDate("foo",&DateStamp);
	if (Success) {
		printf("Succesfully set the date\n");
	} else {
		printf("Couldn't set the date\n");
	}
