fstat() Return Value Improved Under OS/2 1.20
---------------------------------------------

The return values for the fstat() function are described incompletely
in online help. Under DOS or versions of OS/2 prior to 1.20, fstat()
returns the same value (the modification time) in the st_mtime,
st_atime, and st_ctime fields, because that is the only value
maintained by the system.

However, under OS/2 1.20's High Performance File System, fstat() returns
the expected values in st_mtime (time the file was last written),
st_atime (time the file was last accessed for reading or writing), and
st_ctime (time the file was created).
