I am trying to write a routine that can obtain and/or set the date/time
of a file from Turbo Pascal.  The DOS function code for doing this is
Function 87 (hex 57).  The problem is that the call requires the file
handle to be placed in the BX register, and I am unclear as to how to
do that from Turbo.  If anyone could shed some light on this subject, I
sure would appreciate it.

Thanks in Advance
