There are no tests yet that assure the correct function of this feature and honestly i don't know what the side effects will be for any circumstances, since the principle design is that space time datasets are mapset specific, which is well tested and supported. :) > >> It is no longer possible to access the timestamp information of these >> maps using the C-libraries, because >> the timestamp information is not available in the map metadata text files. >> > > sure ;-) Well, unless you already set the timestamps using the C-library functions or *.timestamp modules before.
