Setting last modified date of a file from within Rev

[xavier.bury at clearstream.com]

Eric,

Even with VBS this is not possible to change a file's date as far as i can 
tell or find.

I think that if you need a solution for this it is going to be more like a 
workaround. 
One suggestion could be to write your data elsewhere like another stack...
But i think you dont want your user to know what has changed...

Maybe write to the registry? Or an encrypted file could be a solution... 

The only viable solution is to store the touch.exe file somewhere, do you 
change
restore the touch exe, run it and then delete the touch.exe...

As far as i know most of these touch.exe utilities are in the public 
domain or freeware.

Regards,
Xavier
