	To test a program I'm trying to build a lot of files with
varying creation dates -- trouble is; I can't seem to find any
references to it.  I've looked over our Pyramid 9810 and Sun 3's with
no luck.  I'd like to try and do this in a fairly portable way (so
that it will work on suns and pyramids) - and will try most anything
short of bringing the machine down single user and setting the date (;-).
	I've checked all through the ioctl.h and fcntl.h as well as
file.h and haven't seen anything that pointed me in the right
direction.  Does anyone have any idea how to go about this?

		Thanks;
				Tp.
