    SetDate is future and List is past, why?

    Code:
    Ram Disk:> date
    Monday 24-Jun-19 19:04:10
    Ram Disk:> date 22-jun-19
    Ram Disk:> touch foo
    Ram Disk:> date 24-jun-19
    Ram Disk:> list foo
    foo                              empty ----rwed Saturday  19:04:38

    Ram Disk:> setdate foo Saturday
    Ram Disk:> list foo
    foo                              empty ----rwed 29-Jun-19 19:04:58

    Weren't future dates shown as "future" in AmigaOS?

    I see, only SetDate and Date use following flag.

    Code:
    		DTF_FUTURE:	  If set, indicates that strings such
    				  as (stored in	dat_StrDate) "Monday"
    				  refer	to "next" monday. Otherwise,
    				  if clear, strings like "Monday"
    				  refer	to "last" monday.

    To be precise the reported issue itself is not fixed. It works as intended (albeit it is a bit confusing how it is).

    However, the original report made me realize that there was another bug: DateToStr with DTF_SUBST didn't use "Future" for dates beyond "Tomorrow". That bug will be fixed for 3.12.

    Yes. And they will be in 3.12+ too. :)
