Maybe an option with less hassle

The CREATE call is the only MLI call that can change the creation date.
So, what you could do is store a $60 at $BF06
Then poke the date and time that you want into $BF90-BF93

Create a new file or directory
Store a $4C back into $BF06, which will return the date and time to the present at the next MLI call
Then save over top of the file you just created, or copy all the files from the other folder into the new one.

The creation date of the file/folder should not be affected when being saved over top.
