	Roy Soltoff might beat me too it, I here rumors that he is
   fixing up the library for mc, the misosys C compiler, so that
   the stat function call returns a properly formatted time field. It
   would be REAL nice if he did this so that I wouldn't have to figure
   out a way to convert from LS-DOS<=>Unix. Sigh.....

	If I do manage to write these routines, school keeps me busy,
   they definitly will be released to the public domain. Another back-
   burner project is adding a directory system, a 'la unix sort of, to
   LS-DOS. I'm wondering if it's worth my time to unbury my notes I
   scribbled down last summer about the directory system. The directorys
   would only work for non-SYS files. The overlays would still have to
   remain in the "root" directory. mkdir, cd and company would be seperate
   utilities to maintain directorys. Directorys files would use the DAM as
   the root directory so that one could ID a directory file just by doing
   a check of the DAM, look ma..no bits used to indicated a file is a directory!
   The directory system would install as a high memory module and intercept
   open,close,read,write,etc calls via the SVC table. The current working
   directory would have a drive and pathname associated with it so only
   one directory plus all root directorys could be accessed at any one time.
   I don't know if catching the SVC's would do the trick as far as insuring
   that the system would trash a disk. Any input from the net? Anybody know
   if my theory would work? I have very detailed ideas for this system sitting
   somewhere at home but they are burried deep inside my closet; where no
   human has gone before ......

	Enough rambling for today,
