>(2) I've gotten some funny time stamp conversions reading a date/time stamp off an NTFS volume on some release of NT with some Win9x versions. The date/time stamp read off the NT box vaied by up to an hour with the date/time stamp read for the same file from a networked Win9x box. I've never pinpointed the problem, but it has resulted in a lot of head-scratching; biggest problems seem to have come up during development; I sometimes got .FXPs back from an NT box date/time stamped earlier than the .PRG file when the .FXP was compiled from the Win9x box and the .PRG modified on the NT box in the same shared NT directory.

That sounds like the problem I was having trying to use fdate() & ftime() to compare exe versions, it didn't always work the way it should. I finally quit trying to compare using '<' and '>', and just used date + "not equal" times to compare...
