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?

I tried contacting the author of this "make", to no avail (no answer). Sean, did you ever actually compile "make"? --- Dan Barrett ins_adjb@jhunix.UUCP barrett@hopkins-eecs-bravo.arpa

As the porter (NOT the author) of the PD Make in the comp.sources.amiga archives, I thought I'd answer the queries. ACTION_SET_DATE was left out of the Manx 3.40a include files by mistake. Simply add the lines: #ifdef AMIGA #ifndef ACTION_SET_DATE #define ACTION_SET_DATE 1006L #endif #endif to the include file and you're on your way.
