The FAT/MS-DOS timestamp is stored in the directory entry with the year represented as an unsigned seven bit number (0–127), relative to 1980.

Famous quotes containing the word year:
“The chrysanthemums’ astringent fragrance comes
Each year to disguise the clanking mechanism
Of machine within machine within machine.”
