----------------------------------------------------------------------
DOS 3.2 Rel 2.02

I would like to change entries in the directory structure.
For example :

1) Change last modification date
2) Change mode (This has a sys call)

I know that a directory can't be opened in the traditional way, but
I would like to be able to read and write arbitrary areas on the disk
with knowledge of the directory structure. I know that I somehow have
to deal with the DTA (disk transfer address) but I have no idea how to
do it. The documentation doesn't help at all. Any ideas ??
