>>(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...

I had similar problems in the install maintenance core code I use.
