Dates are stored in a field which is at least 32 bits
and in some file system implementation may be 64 bits.
The type of this field (for programming use) is time_t.
The value in field is the number of seconds since January
1, 1970 00:00:00 GMT. The value should be the same on
ALL UNIX systems.
If zoo is using time_t correctly, there shouldn't be any
problem.
orig. message:
preface: before we migrated from an ultrix box our users used a compression
utility called zoo. we have a lot of data stored in zoo
format. there is a problem with the way zoo works on DU4.0b. either compressing
or uncompressing the dates on the files become mangled. i mean to say they when
uncompressing they don't show the date of the file when it was last worked on.
and compressing sometimes the files get tagged with a totaly bogus date. i'm
thinking the problem has to do with how the AS1000A 5/333 stores file dates.
question: Any info on how the Alpha stores the file dates?
thanx!
