You're correct that in 24-hour time, it would be "00" hours for midnight.
But 24-hour clock notation does not use "AM/PM". So a time of "00:01" in
24-hour time should equal the time of "12:01 AM" using 12-hour notation.
However, when using the SetFile command, this does not seem to be the case.


For example:

SetFile -d "02/27/2005 00:01" testfile

sets the creation time of the file "testfile" to 12:01 AM.

However, the command:

SetFile -d "02/27/2005 12:01 AM" testfile

sets the creation time of the file "testfile" to 12:01 *PM*.

The hour value with AM/PM notation seems to work fine in SetFile for all
hours except midnight.

The AM/PM/mindnight problems with SetFile were fixed in Xcode 1.5.
