While this should be straight-forward to fix, I'm wondering why something
so "obvious" would have been missed so long. Does the Mac perhaps *always*
create a forked file, and therefore the majority of Netatalk users have
never seen the symptoms? (The GS will only create the rez fork when it
is required.) If this is not the case, why do dates on a Mac work out
correctly (as I assume they do)?
well, the macs worked correctly pretty much because of the resource
fork stuff. i'd been meaning to look at the date stuff as part of my
appledouble v2 updating, but it wasn't high on my list. in any case, i
just went ahead and fixed it in my current asun2.1.x
line. unfortunately, you get time warpage with old files on the mac
due to the resource forks holding the wrong information. i'll add yet
another volume option so that things will get auto-corrected. bleah.
