To whom it may concern:
I have since discovered a bug in my "fix" for creation times. If INT 21h
AH=3Ch is called and the file is truncated (not created), its creation
time will be replaced with the modification time. This is because dos_open
calls init_direntry when creating or truncating a

Hi guys,
to give a quick comment on the "triple timestamps in DOS"
discussion: I guess it is safe in MOST situations to use
those, but not in all. It could be a feature to use per
default only for FAT32 kernels, or it could be SYS CONFIG
switchable, to keep "classic" directory entries possible.

I don't know. You mentioned 4DOS, so I'm going to give that a try, or one
of the many DIR replacements (or write my own...). But

Compared to my expectations (:D) and Windows' behavior. I don't know how
other DOSs behave.

Hi,
I noticed that many files on my FreeDOS partition do not have a creation
time, or rather they claim to be created in 1980. For a long time I
thought that this is a bug, but today I looked at the kernel source code
and found out that file creation times are never actually set.
