Perhaps you misunderstood. What I meant was that part of the info that
DJGPP's stat() returns is redundant because of the fact that DOS stores
less info about each file compared to what UNIX does.

I might be mistaken but is it not the case that in DOS, st_atime and
st_ctime contain the same value as st_mtime? And st_nlink is always 1?
If that's not the case then I'm sorry for not doing my homework ;-)

cheers
