I have a project underway, for which I need to be able to update a
file's date (ala Touch). I have RTFM, but can't seem to find a Turbo C
function to do this. Do I have to resort to some skullduggery? Spawning
Touch won't work, as I can't be sure it's available on the user's
system.
Your ideas will be appreciated, and I'll summarize any e-mail, if
there's sufficient interest. Thanks in advance.

Spawning That is somewhat surprising since Turbo Pascal has such a function (SetFTime) and there are so much common ingredients to these two Turbo products. But if this is really so, then resort to interrupt 21Hex function 57Hex. ...................................................................
