DOS_GetFileDate (in src/dos/dos_files.cpp) uses RealHandle(entry)
as file handle on the real filesystem, which is wrong (the real file
handle is stored inside the DOS_Files[handle] class instance).

DOS_GetFileDate should probably be implemented as a method of
the DOS_File or localFile class. It could possibly call through to the
localDrive::FileStat() method, though I'm not sure how to get the
correct localDrive from the DOS_File/localFile instance.

GetFileDate (and SetFileDate) seem to be necessary for Turbo
Pascal 7 to be able to save any files (it has something to do with
creating backups of the source files).

I'll attach a test program.

    Test program for getting/setting file date/time.

    Where exactly? I can't see any changes in src/dos/dos_files.cpp using
    cvsweb (or does it run behind compared to regular cvs?)

    tested that fdate. set time is faked in dosbox so the file
    doesn't get the time but the application thinks it succeeded.

    Reading of the time worked fine.

    Thanks for the test. I just checked out from cvs, but Turbo Pascal 7 still
    cannot save any files (still complains it cannot create any backup file). I
    suppose it needs real setdate support. Under *nix, this can be done
    using the utimes() function. I don't about Windows.

    Another thing I mentioned with the cvs version, is that azerty supports
    now seems to be completely broken (it worked half before): I simply
    cannot type any special characters (such as "/" and ":") anymore if I
    don't change my keyboard layout to qwerty before starting dosbox.

    Regarding the cvs version: s/mentioned/noticed. Sorry, it's late. I'm also
    not sure where the ugly wrapping comes from.

    Bug fixed.
    it had nothing to do with date and time
    it was a return value for delete.
