 File Modification Date/Time - grabbing and setting

Why do you suppose Visual Basic 3.0 Pro does not provide reasonable means
to read and write file modification date and time?

It seems silly that there is not even a Win API call to do this from VB!

Writing a dll to use:

Quote:
>   _dos_open
>   _dos_setftime
>   _dosclose

seems a little overboard to me.

What do you think?

Yeah, I think this feature should have been included. Fortunately someone
has written a Freeware VBX that will do this and much more. It is called
VBIO.VBX and it can be found at sevearl sites.
