I'd be tempted to say that Robert Oslin just did - but that would probably
lead to the wrong solution being put forward - the idea that we'd have MDTM
used as a modification command, as well as a query command, with the
possibility (though remote, not entirely impossible, or even unlikely on a
FAT file system)of confusion.

If it's going to be done, it needs to be more than just modification time
that gets altered - creation time might be a good one to work on, too.  Are
there any other facts that should be modified by a new command?  Perhaps
protections, though I _know_ that one's going to be a mess.

Alun.
