The patch was originally against 1.2.0 or 1.2.1 (I forget which). It was not to fix a "bug" as such, rather that DOS time drifts in respect to Linux/real time so the patch simply reads Linux time when a program asks for DOS time. The web page describes the gory details: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1034800&group_id=49784&atid=457449 [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > We applied your patch in the hope it would fix a date/time corruption > that happens after about 3wks of uptime. We never found a "corruption", just a slow drift. To me "corruption" means badly/randomly wrong and that would suggest a different cause.
