StampOut! is a simple
temporary initialization file that configures the ProDOS
File System Translator (FST) to not update modification
dates for nested trees of directories every time a file
is modified. Instead, only the directory in which the
file is actually located is updated.
Normally, if you save a file at
:Hard.Disk:Documents:AWGS.Files:MyRecipes, the ProDOS FST
updates the time stamps on the directories Hard.Disk,
Documents, and AWGS.Files, as well as the file MyRecipes.
With StampOut! installed, only AWGS.Files and MyRecipes
get updated.
This can very slightly improve performance when writing
files to disks. The difference may or may not be
noticeable, depending on the specific application.
