UPDATE.............UDF / Ron Stawicki/Update for DESCRTST

Dave,

We've followed your initial recommendations regarding DESCRTST, which
we've compiled, linked, and executed as a WIN32 flat model console
app. We've run into a series of emitted errors and a throw exception
towards the end of the test. We've discovered so far the following
issues:

  1) DESCRTST #491 - it appears that the "rid" string member is hard
     coded to a length of 23, and "ws" is actually 21; therefore, the
     lengths do not compare and that component fails, therefore
     emitting the error message.

  2) DESCRTST #791 - in converting back to a time_t long for
     "modificationTime", there's a TZ adjustment which changes the
     time (-60*....) and hence causes a miscompare error message to be
     emitted (NSR_VERIFY is defined).

     I'm investigating the remainder of the issues with this test, and
     should be able to share the rest of these early next week.

     Dave, I've completed issues with DESCRTST, with items reported as
     follows; in some cases, I've assumed that code sections were
     "isolated", so to continue on, I set up a #ifdef in that section
     and recompiled to go on to the next issue; therefore, some of the
     line numbers might be off by a few lines:

  3) DESCRTST #818 - same modification time error
  4) DESCRTST #868 - "   "
  5) DESCRTST #905 - empty "ffid" - null string throws exception in
                     NSRTYPES.CPP         #409    
  6) DESCRTST #1151 - rovd.clear() /nsrVol #98 bodyClear()/nsrVol
                      #1198 logicalVolumeId.clear throws exception
  7) DESCRST #1209 - same as item 6
  8) ~DESCRTST #1568 - emitted error message "FreeEASpace.attrID=null"
          & macVolumeInfoEA.attrID()==null
  9) ~DESCRTST #1653 enitted MacDirFinderInfoEA.attrID() = null
  10) ~DESCRTST #1764 - (same as item 9)
  11) ~DESCRTST#1886 - emitted MacUniqueIDTableEA.attrID()=null
  12) ~DESCRTST#2004 - emitted MacResiurceForkEA.fixedLen() = null
  13) DESCRTST #2057/nsrEA.cpp #2675 - "SupportedEAType eat =
                                        eatype()".......throws
                                        exception 

Monday I'll try to get ATTRTST running.

Thanks, Ron S.
