Two notes to this stuff:  The 1.1 release does not have the problem
of a single file bumping the system date ahead (the reasons why we
did that were rendered obsolete by a better caching strategy, and
we fixed what, in retrospect, was obviously a bad effect...).  Sorry
for the pain in 1.0.

The other note is that a recursive directory printer is available in
the base amiga system.  Try "dir opt=a" to see it.
