      From: nospam.g00r00@f215.n129.z1.fidonet.org               MR> I am working on some old filestat utils I created and was wondering if        MR> you could add two date fields for files.              There isn't any space left in those records without a change to the structure       but I will do it soon (tm).              They are mostly untouched since the 1990s when supporting long file names in a       BBS database caused me to be very lean on the data I stored for performance and       memory reasons (Mystic had those ANSI scrolling file lists and long file name       support way back when DOS and 512kb memory was a thing and it had to allow you       to scroll freely through 10s of thousands of files within those limitations!)              Thats no longer as big of an issue so I will add those fields, but not in A48       as I plan to release that very soon (probably in a week or so) so I can get a       good stable version out there.              I'll probably do a revamp sometime after A48 which will include those fields       for you. I need to revisit a lot of the old structures anyway to make sure       they are 2038 compatible!              ...
