Even when long file names are supported, the three time values
returned by lstat
might be identical if the file was last written
by a program which used legacy DOS functions that don't know about long
file names.
Some of the combinations listed below are non-standard. If you use the non-standard specifiers, a compiler could complain.

Many DOS programs catch Ctrl-C keystrokes and Critical Errors, and
handle them in customized ways. If this handling prevents DOS from
realizing that the program was aborted due to these reasons, bits 8-17
of the value returned by system
will most probably be zero.
Don't count on these bits to hold the signal number!
