      REPLY: 2:280/464.47@fidonet 5dc7cbd3       MSGID: 1:320/219@fidonet 5dc7f4f3       CHRS: CP437 2       TZUTC: -0500       TID: MBSE-FIDO 1.0.7.13 (GNU/Linux-x86_64)       Hello Oli!              10 Nov 19 09:35, you wrote to me:               AL>> Incidentally, I discovered that the timestamp of that file on        AL>> disk was showing as November 25, 1961, so it should be a negative        AL>> value. Converting the decimal to hex yields FFFF FFFF F0C4 3650,        AL>> which in 2's complement notation is -255576496. A quick Unix        AL>> time conversion results in Sat 25 Nov 1961 10:31:44 PM UTC.        AL>> Therefore, it appears that the value is a correct 64-bit Unixtime        AL>> for the file timestamp as it was on disk.               Ol> I didn't expect that SIOREG.ZIP is that old ;-). It makes more sense              It's not. The file had a timestamp of 01-01-1998 on my OS/2 system; somehow        the timestamp got grunged when I sent it over to the Linux machine using binkd        1.1a-99/OS2. I just tried sending it again, and the same timestamp corruption        occurred.               Ol> now. The question is which of the two mailers doesn't handle the        Ol> negative unix timestamp well.              Yes, and also the 64-bit vs. 32-bit question. I'll work on further testing        today.              Andrew              --- GoldED+/LNX 1.1.5-b20180707        * Origin: Phoenix BBS * phoenix.bnbbbs.net (1:320/219)       SEEN-BY: 1/19 123 16/0 90/1 103/705 120/544 123/130 131 132/174 142/926       SEEN-BY: 154/10 203/0 221/0 1 6 242 360 227/114 229/101 200 354 426       SEEN-BY: 229/1014 230/0 240/5832 249/307 317 261/38 280/464 5003 5555       SEEN-BY: 292/854 310/31 320/119 219 322/0 342/200 396/45 423/81 120       SEEN-BY: 640/1384 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 320/219 221/1 280/464 229/426           |
