So far I've ignored the fact that the date and time of folders don't seem to make sense. Now that someone's mentioned that folder attributes aren't the same as plain files I thought I'd ask about the time stamp problem. What exactly can you do with the information that you get about folders from GEMDOS? Are the name and extension the only things that are usable besides the attribute that says it's a folder?
