Hello,
Norton v. 8, when checking some of my volumes, complains about dates. For instance : The files have creation dates that are inconsistent or outside the expected range.
Dates are computed that way: - use of unix (C lib) time/filetime functions to get the number of seconds from January the 1st, 1970, - add the number of seconds from January 1st, 1904 - add the timezone + summertime (-7200 seconds currently for Paris/Madrid) to get the UTC/GMT time.
Following the HFS+ spec, I don't add the timezone + summertime for the volume dates.
That way, I have correct dates. PC files copied to a Macintosh volume appear with a correct date on a Mac, and so on.
I don't understand what Norton's error message could mean.
Any clue?
