The 'SetFile' command does let you change the file creation date. However,
I've discovered that a 12 AM number needs to be set with "00:mm" time
notation. For example,
SetFile -d "02/27/2005 12:01 AM" testfile
sets the creation date of file "testfile" to 12:01 *PM*. However, the
following command:
SetFile -d "02/27/2005 00:01 AM" testfile
sets the creation date to the desired 12:01 AM time.
