Just one day before I had to write a copy procedure in MODULA-2
for my project, I read the article concerning Fdatime. So I avoided
much trouble. Many thanks.
I also found an error in the DaTime PROCEDURE of the TDIModula-2/ST.
But the sequence Fcreate, Fwrite, Fdatime, Fclose didn't work.
When I do Fcreate, Fwrite, Fclose, Fopen, Fdatime, Fclose
then the time and date stamp is as I want it.
I am not shure about the TOS Version I have, I think it is 1.3 (german).
Without setting the clock, files are created on 6.Feb.1986.
