It was failing with the fib I had allocated with AllocPooled also. Which
way does AllocPooled align? In a different post I mentioned that I was
told that AllocPooled called AllocMem and AllocMem says it returns LONGWORD
aligned memory. So if I use AllocPooled to obtain memory for a fib, is that
incorrect? I am not opposed to using AllocDosObject but I would like to
know why I am doing it.

I use PFS and SetFileDate works fine now. Turns out that it was because my
file was already open when trying to set the file date.
