+	<para>NTFS and Windows VFAT file systems keep a create 
+	time for all files and directories. This is not the same as the 
+	ctime - status change time - that Unix keeps, so Samba by default 
+	reports the earliest of the various times Unix does keep. Setting 
+	this parameter for a share causes Samba to always report midnight 
+	1-1-1980 as the create time for directories.</para>
+
+	<para>This option is mainly used as a compatibility option for 
+	Visual C++ when used against Samba shares. Visual C++ generated 
+	makefiles have the object directory as a dependency for each object 
+	file, and a make rule to create the directory. Also, when NMAKE 
+	compares timestamps it uses the creation time when examining a 
+	directory. Thus the object directory will be created if it does not 
+	exist, but once it does exist it will always have an earlier 
+	timestamp than the object files it contains.</para>
+
+	<para>However, Unix time semantics mean that the create time 
+	reported by Samba will be updated whenever a file is created or 
+	or deleted in the directory.  NMAKE finds all object files in 
+	the object directory.  The timestamp of the last one built is then 
+	compared to the timestamp of the object directory.  If the 
+	directory's timestamp if newer, then all object files
+	will be rebuilt.  Enabling this option 
+	ensures directories always predate their contents and an NMAKE build 
+	will proceed as expected.</para>
