test file1 -nt file2 # is file1 newer than file2?

: Try:
: ls -t file1 file2 |head -1
Also,
find file1 -newer file2 -print
(One less process; null output means file2 is newer.)

No processes - all ksh built-in

1. Time discrepancy between Linux and DOS time stamps for same file
When I look at the time stamp on a dos file using ls in Linux, it reports
a different time than DOS reports for the same file using dir.
This is for the /dosc partition mounted under Linux as a type msdos partition.
The time differential seems to be about 10 1/2 hours; where Linux thinks the
file is 10 1/2 hours older than the DOS time.
Does anyone know a fix or reason for this?
Thanks,
