Qnx time of day != Windows time of day?

Hello,
I am using qnx 4.25 Dec 2000 release and I have noticed the following
occurence when I use Fatfsys to link qnx to Win98 hard disks. When I
view DOS partition files from qnx using the “ls -l /dos/d” command,
all file modification times are 7 hours earlier than the same
modification times when listed from Windows Explorer.

The clocks display the correct time (Pacific Daylight Time) when
running under either OS. Windows is configured for PDT, and so is
QNX.

Anyone have any ideas about this?

Thanks for your help,
Greg Laird

Yes, it is a Fatfsys bug, the FAT times are stored ondisk in local
time but were being treated as UTC (hence the 7-hour timezone shift).
There is a newer version (“Fatfsys 4.26B”) which fixes this …
