Thanks, I made the part in fileio.c that makes use of it conditional on
!MSDOS, so on MS-DOS it will fall back to using read/write instead,

Thanks, but I'm confused with the DJGPP `struct ftime': do I have to
take leap years and the different lengths of each month into account
when setting the various members of a `struct ftime' from a time_t?

The comment here makes that uncertain:

    struct ftime {
      unsigned ft_tsec:5;	/* 0-29, double to get real seconds */
      unsigned ft_min:6;	/* 0-59 */
      unsigned ft_hour:5;	/* 0-23 */
      unsigned ft_day:5;	/* 1-31 */
                                     ^^
      unsigned ft_month:4;	/* 1-12 */
      unsigned ft_year:7;	/* since 1980 */
    }

Alternatively, is there some function I overlooked that populates
`struct ftime' from time_t?
