If you use Atari code editor, but e.g. run "make" (cross-GCC etc) on the
host, it's better. It all depends on whether your workflow relies on
file timestamps matching host or emulated Atari time.
The timestamp of the file is not explicitly set by Pure-C when you save a
file. Instead, it is assumed to be the same that Tgettime() returns. If
Tgettime() returns something different (eg. because of fast-forward), those 2
times will differ.
I already mentioned that behaviour long time ago, thinking that a 200hz timer
should always be 200Hz, regardless of emulation speed. But probably this would
break lots of timing dependant tricks.
Yes.
