It was a while back but as I recall, the problem was that the code has a fudge factor applied for no obvious reason. It was fairly easy to see what the code should do. What was hard was figuring out where the fix was needed, without having any older systems to test against. > For example, from VMS712_ACRTL-v0200: > Incorrect timestamp returned from stat and fstat functions That's a useful data point. I'll take another look at the code sometime now I have some idea what the workaround is for. Richard Brodie.
