Re: Is there a command to change btime (creation time of files)?

That's not surprising, because "Unix systems in general" do not have
birth-time timestamps; they're a moderately recent innovation.  Based
on what little information I have at ready hand, they appeared in
NetBSD sometime between 2000 and 2006 - a 2000-02-03 sys/stat.h doesn't
have them while a 2006-02-24 one does - and FFS doesn't have them in
FFSv1, only FFSv2.
