From: Stuart Swales<[email protected]>

ADFS (FileCore) storage complies with the RISC OS timestamp specification (40-bit centiseconds since 01 Jan 1900 00:00:00). It is desirable that stored timestamp precision be maintained to facilitate a precise copy of data and metadata from a hard disc (or image thereof) into a RISC OS emulator (such as RPCEmu). This patch implements a full-precision conversion from ADFS to Unix timestamp as the existing driver, for ease of calculation with old 32-bit compilers, uses the common trick of shifting the 40-bits representing centiseconds around into 32-bits representing seconds thereby losing precision.

The patch looks sane to me but I was unable to extract a diff which applies. Your email client is doing weird things. Please fix it and resend.

We have weird things going on with the code layout.

[Thanks Andrew - icedove had screwed up the patch somewhat. I'm using alpine to send this (have tested that it went round the loop ok and produces the same patch)]
