Problem with DU90 (Disk sector editor) on Z3PLUS

[Peter Onion]

In order to fully test my "sort by timestamp" mods to ZXD I need to "adjust" the timestamp on a file to be pre-2000.

I've found DU90 which says in is CP/M 3 compatible and which looks like it can do what I need, but the "find file" feature doesn't seem to work correctly.

If I type "ffred.txt" it correctly finds the directory entry for fred.txt and prints it out, but it doesn't print the correct track/sector info and always prints T=2 S=1 after a find command.

Is this a known problem ?   Is there a fix ?

Or is there an alternative disk sector editor util I could use ?

Thanks,

PeterO

A couple of alternatives that I've used:

1. Change your system date and create a file.
2. See if ZSVSTAMP is compatible with CP/M3.

Wayne,

I don't like the idea of messing with the clock, but I guess on CP/M not much can go wrong....

ZSVSTAMP just prints "Not ZSDOS" :-(

Thanks anyway.

ZAP is an answer !

I now have a file created and updated on 12/09/89 to test with.
