  I am not very familiar with VAXen to say if it is possible to set the
date stored with each file.  Oh, if I am not mistaken, when you do a
dir /date=some date, it is not necessarily the creation date, but rather
the date it was last modified.

  In any case, it doesn't make much sense to want to change a file's dates.
Why would anyone want to do such a thing?
