	According to Ray Brand, in 1.2 Gamma 1, (just received), SetFileDate
works with disks.  Unfortunately, it doesn't work with the ramdisk.  This
is apparently a side-effect of the fact that most everything in AMIGADOS
wants/returns BPTR's.  The ramdisk is expecting APTR's, and the filing
system BPTR's (or maybe I got it backwards.  Doesn't matter.)
	Another point:  from my reading of the 1.2 Gamma 1 include files,
a number of the new things in 1.2 are missing from the include files, like
MODE_READWRITE, the new packet types, telling people where the PATH info
for each CLI is, where the RESIDENT structure is (and what it is).  Phil,
you told me where these are, why don't you post an update to here so we can
fix out include files?
