A couple of changes to Meadow's file MODIFY utility are useful.  The changed
files are given at the end of this message.  The change to MODIFY.CLD allows
for example MODIFY FOO.BAR/CREA=TODAY/REV="+-1" (sets creation to today
midnight and revision to 1 hour from now).  The change to MODTIME.FOR allows
MODIFY FOO.BAR/NOBACK/NOEXP to set "No backup date" and "No expiration date"
