Set file date

[Master of Pain]

Hi,
I have to write this little program in C++, but I don't know where to start.
The program must prompt user for a date and a time (no problem here) and
change the file create/access/write time/date (!!!).
I'm using Borland C++ Builder 5.5, I think I have to include/use <io> and
<dos>, but I can't do anything good. Please, can anyone help me?
It's impossible for me (I'm not so good in writing C++ programs).
Thanks in advance.

If writing C++ is impossible for you, start by hiring a C++ programmer.
misc.jobs.offered is a good newsgroup for that.

Unfortunately, the C++ language specification does not require a
platform to support files, nor does it impose any restrictions
for file attributes. All this is platform (operating system)
specific. Hmmm, best place for help is in a platform specific
newsgroup or perhaps a compiler specific newsgroup.
