I pulled a copy of a public domain make from the comp.sources.amiga
archives (volume1).  There's also a binary, (which I haven't tested yet),
but I tried to compile it anyway.  There's a touch routine in there,
easily rewritable, that uses the dos_packet() Manx library function to
send an ACTION_SET_DATE packet.  Using my permuted index, I found it in
SYS1:include/libraries/dosextens.h.  There are a lot of ACTIONS
such as ACTION_DIE, ACTION_RENAME_DISK, and so forth.

I'm curious.  Was this in 1.1 but removed in 1.2?  It sounds like a useful
function.  I can't find documentation for the ACTION packets in any of
the 4 Addison Wesley/CBM manuals, the AmigaDOS 1.2 manual, or the Amiga
Programmer's manual Vol 1 from Sybex.  Did I just miss it or is it really
not there?  Should I look a little harder?
