I'm working on a script which takes a bunch of my old WordPerfect files
and converts them to PDF. One of the hitches is that I would like for the
PDF files to have the same creation/modification times as the original
files. This leads to two questions:
1) How can I set a particular files creation/modification date to be
identical to that of another file?
2) How can I set that information to arbitrary values?
Incidentally, is there anything at the HFS level that prevents the
creation date from being later than the modification date? What about at
the Finder/OS level?
