Has anyone figured out how DaTime works for the ST, or even IF it works (I should think that they use it int the desktop!)? One obvious bug is that if you try to get the date, you set it (if you try to set it, you also set it!), and the value seems not to relate to the value in the buffer. The get does not change the buffer, and with either the get or set option the date gets changed to some unpredictable value. After reading bammi's comments on Fdatime() in C, it appears that TDI based the function on incorrect documentation and didn't bother to check it -- but if the desktop uses it, they must be able to use it correctly. Anyone know of any books or other GEM info for Modula-2 programmers out there? The language is great, but the TDI documentation is pretty weak.
