When you say 'correctly set', do you mean - reported correctly in a
catalog, whether they are done the apple way or the prosel way? Or
something else?
He means that the 2-digit year will be properly reported to
ProDOS (in the Apple fashion).
The >99 Bredon patches were only supported by ProSel and friends, and
were never supported by anything else.
I guess the implication is that Sweet 16 datestamps files the Prosel
way, as it's the main environment these files have been edited in, on
an otherwise standard PRODOS floppy, with the prodos 1.9 version of
basic.system.
I expect that Sweet 16 emulates the ThunderClock, and so all the usual
year table issues are handled by ProDOS, but I don't know.
I don't mind either way now, so long as I understand that the dates
are actually there in some format.
Thanks for the pointers.
