Hi all,

	I've run into a problem with lfn's and date/time stamps on files.
After writing a file I wanted to set it's date and time and so I
opened it again with _dos_open and used _dos_setftime to set it's
date/time stamp. This doesn't work with lfns though (surprise
surprise!). Is there a better/easier way? Is it possible to take a
file opened for writing and set it's date/time stamp before it's
closed (ie. take a FILE* and set it's date/time stamp)?

Thanks for any help,
Malcolm
