What it does: It changes the date and the time attributes of the
              files on your drive.

How To: Select the Path and Wildcards for the files which should have
        to be changed.
        Check the "Recurse Subdirectories"-Box, if you want to
        change the files of all the Subdirectories in the chosen Path, too.
        Select "Base-Directory" in the "Select Change Mode"-Box to
        change the Filedate of the Files in your chosen Path.

        You can also add Files per Drag & Drop or OpenFile-Dialog to
        the File-Listbox.
        Select "Files in Listbox" in the "Select Change Mode"-Box to
        change the Filedate of the Files in the Listbox.
        Note: If files are selected in the Listbox, they can be
              removed from the List with the "Delete Files"-Button.

        Type in any date and time since 01/01/80 then
        press the 'Change'-Button and all filedates have been set to
        your choosen date.
        Write-protected Files will only be changed if the
        "Change Read-Only Files also"-Box is checked.
        To get the current date/time press the 'Now'-Button.

        In the 32-Bit version of File Date Changer the file-creation date
        and the file-last access date, which can be viewed in the
        file property-dialog of the Windows-Explorer,
        can also be changed if the associated CheckBoxes are checked.

Installing: Copy the files FDATCHNG.EXE/FDATCH32.EXE
            into a Directory of your choise.
            Copy the CTL3DV2.DLL Library into your Windows-System Path.
            That's all you have to do.

Uninstalling: Just remove the files FDATCHNG.EXE, FDATCH32.EXE, FDATCHNG.INI
              from your Harddrive.
              There are NO entries made in Windows INI-Files
              or in the System-Registry, which have to be removed.
