That is unrelated to the numeric tails, even if it were a problem (see

I'm not aware of any filesystem that does not support file
modification time.  Even plain DOS supports them, and Windows 9x as
well, of course.  Maybe you mean creation and access times?  Those are
supported by Windows 9x VFAT filesystem, though (but not by DOS).
